Veteran actress Meena’s daughter Nainika will be seen as the on-screen daughter of Ilayapathi Vijay and Samantha in the upcoming action entertainer ‘Theri’.
The Film directed by Atlee of ‘RajanRani’ fame has Vijay playing a police officer and Samantha playing his wife. Amy Jackson is another leading lady. After considering many child actors, makers finally roped in Meena’s four year old daughter Nainika.
It is heard that Meena used to be present on the sets on every day to make her cute daughter act. Unit members revealed that Meena used to offer Nainika chocolates if she performs well. Meena must be dreaming that her daughter too becomes a star heroine like her.
It may be noted that Meena made her screen debut with Sivaji Ganeshan starrer film in 1982. She has the distinction of acting as a child actor in Superstar Rajinikanth’s film and later romancing him in couple of other Movies. After ruling south Industry as one of the top actresses for few years, Meena married and settled down in 2009.
We wish Nainika too becomes a great actress like her mother Meena.
