Post Maya, Nayanthara teams up with Ashwin Saravanan again for a horror thriller, titled Connect

On Wednesday evening, Vignesh Shivan's production house Rowdy Pictures announced that Nayanthara is playing the lead in their upcoming project and that more details on the same will be revealed on Thursday morning. The announcement tweet also had a picture in it which featured a Bible and a cross on it. 

Now, they have unveiled the first look poster featuring the actress in it. The film, titled Connect, being directed by Ashwin Saravanan, has Nayanthara seen drawing a cross on a wall amid a dark backdrop with mysterious ambience. The makers have ensured that the poster conveys the mood of the movie, which has Bollywood actor Anupam Kher and Sathyaraj playing pivotal roles. 

The team also revealed the movie's second look sometime later which features teen singer Haniya Nafisa on it. The production house which unveiled the posters on Nayanthara's birthday today didn't hide their excitement. They posted, "Here’s the announcement you’ve been waiting for! Presenting to you the first look of #Connect on this very special day."   

Ashwin had earlier worked with the actress in Maya (streaming on Sun NXT, Jio Cinema and MX Player). All elated to be joining hands with her again, he tweeted, "6 years later & the reunion has finally happened. Extremely honoured to be working with the one and only! Thank you @VigneshShivN brother & @Rowdy_Pictures for backing my vision. I couldn’t be more excited to show the world what we are up to."

Manikantan Krishnamachary will crank the camera for the movie which has Prithvi C composing the music and Richard Kevin handling editing. Ashwin's last outing was Taapsee-starrer multilingual flick Game Over which released (streaming on Netflix) in 2019.
