Along with it, the actress penned a long note where she relived some of the best memories from working on the sets of the film. She mentioned how the project came as a blessing to her and left her with many new learnings and experiences. Most importantly, Nayanthara also expressed gratitude over the movie, since it ultimately led her to meet and fall in love with her husband, Vignesh Shivan.
She wrote, “A film that came to bless my life and change it forever. 9 years ago on this day, Naanum Rowdy Dhan released. Forever grateful to it for giving me new love from people, new lessons as a performer, new lessons as a performer, new core memories and new relationships. And of course I have to thank my man @wikkiofficial for giving me NRD, which gave me him. Sharing a collection of images that I’ve been carrying in my phone along with me all these years that constantly remind me of my special film.”
For the unversed, Naanum Rowdy Dhan was released on October 21, 2015. The musical score of the movie was handled by Anirudh Ravichander while it was entirely bankrolled under superstar Dhanush’s production house, Wunderbar Films.
Initially, music composer Anirudh was chosen to spearhead the project. However, after he dropped out, it was Gautham Karthik and Lavanya Tripathi who were chosen as the lead pair. But when the project failed to materialize even after that, it was Dhanush who then took the reins of the movie and Nayanthara-Vijay Sethupathi were finally chosen as the leads.
The plot of the story revolves around the life of a rowdy man who falls in love with a girl whose hearing is impaired. However, he faces a grave challenge when his ladylove makes an unexpected request to him.

Florence Pugh has finally taken the time to share the story behind her dramatic hair transformation for We Live in Time. The English actress, 28, took to Instagram on Sunday, October 20, to explain how she shaved her blonde bob to fully commit to playing Almut in John Crowley’s deeply moving romance alongside Andrew Garfield.
“This was the last picture I took with my hair,” she wrote over a photo of her signature blonde bob, shared via the Stories section of the aforementioned social media platform. In the film, Pugh portrays a rising chef who is diagnosed with late-stage ovarian cancer.
“Getting to do this for this role was a true honor and a privilege. To give my body to the story was something I always felt passionately and confident about. I’m just grateful. So grateful,” she continued.
The photo Pugh shared alongside the message was a repost from a collection of images on her grid, where she recapped her experience filming the romantic drama.
Penning a detailed caption, the Oppenheimer star explained that it took her so long to share the filming journey because she moved her life “to the other side of the globe.” The actress noted, “To say it’s fully taken my attention and energy is an understatement,” and apologized for the lack of social media updates. Pugh reiterated that she was “so proud” of her role and expressed how “grateful” she was for the film.
“I’ve been desperate for a role like this for a few years. A woman who is current and relatable and going through all of the conversations modern women are going through daily,” she shared.
In her lengthy caption, she also thanked the “many incredible masterminds” and crew members who worked together to make the movie. In her carousel, Pugh posted additional behind-the-scenes photos from the set, including pictures of “the INCREDIBLE prosthetics team who put on my baby bump for 3-4 hours each day.” She called them “superstars” in her post.
Pugh wrapped up her post by expressing her hesitation to share more, as the film is still awaiting a global release. “I don’t want to ruin [it],” she said.
According to an official synopsis by A24, “Almut (Pugh) and Tobias (Garfield) are brought together in a surprise encounter that changes their lives. As they embark on a path challenged by the limits of time, they learn to cherish each moment of the unconventional route their love story has taken.”
We Live in Time began showing in select theaters on October 11.
