Malayalam cute actress Nazriya Nazim who played the lead in some hit movies like Bangalore Days, Ohm Shanthi Oshana, Raja Rani etc bid her goodbye to movies after getting married to her Bangalore Days co-star Fahad Faasil in an arranged marriage in 2014. After four long years, she is all set to mark her comeback with Koode movie under the direction of Anjali Menon. She now turned into a producer for her husband’s upcoming movie ‘Varathan’. Now, Nazriya is going to croon for her husband.

Music composer Sushin Shyam revealed that Nazriya is going to sing a song in the film ‘Varathan’ which will also mark her maiden production venture. He didn’t reveal many details about the song but it would be her second time giving her sweet voice for a song after Salalah Mobiles. It seems like Nazriya is leaving no stone unturned in stealing the audience attention.

Young director Santhosh Nair’s maiden flick Manirathnam had gained some attention early on for its lead pairing – none other than the real life star couple Fahad Fazil and Nazriya Nazim who are set to tie the knot in August this year. But later on Nazriya had opted out of the film as she hadn’t made up her mind about continuing acting after the wedding.

Sources now tell us that she may infact be quitting the movie industry post wedding, which is a shame given the phenomenal success her latest film Bangalore Days is having. In fact, almost all her movies have been hits including Neram, Om Shanthi Oshana, Vaayai Moodi Pesuvom and so on.

In any case, this left the director with the difficult job of finding a new talent for the role and it seems he found his lead in the Niveda Thomas, the 18 year old starlet who turned heroine after a successful career as a child artist in television and film (Malayalam and Tamil).

Actually, Niveda landed the state award for Best Child Artist for her performance in the surprise family hit of 2008, Veruthe Oru Bharya, starring Jayaram and Gopika.

Recently though, she has played roles in hit Malayalam and Tamil movies like Thattathin Marayathu and Vijay mega hit, Jilla. She played Vijay’s sister and Mohanlal’s daughter in the flick. Incidentally, she also played Vijay’s sister in Velayudham.

And now, it looks like the beautiful actress is ready for her big ticket role, and that’s a starring role opposite the very talented Fahadh Faasil – although, making her entry as a replacement for the hugely popular Nazriya, she is making quite a statement.

The movie itself is reported to be a comedy oriented one and is set to start shooting in June, with a release set for Onam.

The young starlet had made it clear once her engagement to actor Fahad Fazil started making media and pop culture headlines across the state that she would continue acting since her fiancé was comfortable with this decision. This pacified some of the controversy regarding the engagement since the actress had just started making waves in the Mollywood industry, along with offers from others in the south.

Now it seems there are rumours out there that Nazriya may indeed quit acting, at least for a while, as she may be turning down roles and returning the advances to projects she already had committed to. This floating rumour gathers strength now that it was made known that Parthiban who is directing the Tamil movie ‘Kathai Thiraikathai Vasanam Iyakkam’ starring Nazriya, might cut her role out completely because the actress is showing sincere doubts as to whether to do the role or not.

If true, that might mean that the pattern of Mollywood actresses who marry young to fellow actors end up leaving the industry albeit maybe to resurface years later.

One really has to hope that this is not the case with Nazriya.
