Nayan missed this film with Shah Rukh Khan..!?
'Chennai Express' story had a South indian setting, and the heroine was a Tamil-speaking woman. Due to this, rohit shetty and Shah Rukh Khan wanted to choose a popular actress from South India. At that time, Nayanthara had carved a niche for herself in the tamil and telugu film industry. Her acting skills and on-screen charm made her the perfect choice for this role. However, it is said that Nayanthara was taking some important decisions in her film career at that time and was hesitant to immediately agree to act in a new bollywood film. Also, the dates of the already agreed-upon tamil films did not match. In the end, the role went to deepika padukone, who played the role of 'Meenamma' and received praise. The film was also a big hit.

Her performance in the film and her pairing with Shah Rukh Khan received worldwide acclaim. 'Jawaan' set new records at the box office. The missed opportunity with 'Chennai Express' brought Nayanthara even bigger success with 'Jawaan'. Although it happened late, seeing Shah Rukh Khan and Nayanthara act together was a dream come true for fans, and it was a dream come true.
