There is no doubt that Nayanthara is number one heroine in South India today as Anushka is not that active in films these days. Though Anushka commands bigger opening as a solo heroine across all languages, she is doing films occasionally. Whereas Nayanthara is a prolific artiste with huge number of releases, so she is considered as number one female star in South.
 
Buzz is that Nayanthara is now demanding Rs 4 Cr per a movie if the film stars only her sans any male star. Till now she has been taking home remuneration of Rs 2 to 2.5 Cr but she recently quoted Rs 4 Cr, say industrywallahs.
 
Truly Nayanthara is creating a new trend for actresses.
