, including One Night Stand, in which she shared screen space with Sunny Leone, returns to Sandalwood now, with the upcoming Nandakishore-directorial Tiger, in which she is paired with Pradeep.
Nyra, who is currently busy with another Hindi film that she is very tightlipped about, says that it was the role, and the fact that she gets to do comedy in Tiger that got her excited. “I play a ghost in the film, well, not literally, but there are circumstances that get my character to pretend that she is a departed soul. And, as a ghost, she then contributes to much of the humour in the film. Add to this that there is a guy who is head-over-heels in love with my character, yet is scared out of his wits because she is a ghost, creates a lot of situational comedy.

Nandakishore

has presented a beautiful romcom, but it is not all romance and laughs. There are emotions and family drama in the film, which sees Pradeep’s character take a certain stand in protecting the girl he loves, all of which makes for an interesting watch,” says the actress.
Working with the director was a new ball game for Nyra, but one that she enjoyed thoroughly. “I see it as a privilege that I got to work with a star director like him. He is very passionate about his work and gets so involved in the process that schedules go on day and night. In fact, sometimes, he follows this routine for days together without getting tired. I had to literally beg him to give me a break and that is when he realized what his passion was doing to us. I have no complaints, but I wonder how he gets the energy and drive to work the way he does,” she says.
