Share


Sometimes birthdays come with more than just cake—they bring surprises that spark excitement among fans. As Nithya Menen turns 37 today, audiences received an unexpected treat: a peek into her bold new avatar in Dhanush’s upcoming directorial venture.

Titled Idly Kadai, the film is written, directed, and produced by Dhanush himself. In a dramatic departure from her usual roles, Nithya will be playing a character named Kayal, who carries shades of grey. Known for her bubbly and romantic characters in films like S/O Satyamurthy and Janatha Garage, this shift into a darker role marks a significant turn in her career.

Speaking about the project, Nithya revealed that stepping into this complex character pushed her out of her comfort zone—and that’s exactly what drew her to it. Fans who’ve long wanted to see her take on more layered roles are already intrigued by this transformation. The film is said to be grounded in a realistic, raw setting, with the storyline revolving around an idly kadai.

While Idly Kadai is already making headlines, Nithya’s slate is getting even more interesting. She’s also teaming up with Vijay Sethupathi for an upcoming, currently untitled film—another project with big expectations.

If Nithya’s birthday came with a bold surprise, it looks like her year is set to be just as thrilling.
