Nazriya to make her comeback

February 10, 2016 10:21 IST

The latest updates from the Malayalam film industry. 

Nazriya

She may have acted in few films only but Nazriya Nazim is one of the most loved heroines from the Malayalam film industry.

Films like Neram, Raja Rani, Ohm Shaanthi Oshaana and Bangalore Days got her into the top league before she married Fahadh Faasil and left the scene, temporarily.

Now, Fahadh has revealed that she will make a comeback to the movies.

"Nazriya is committed to a project and she is having talks with certain other filmmakers as well. It’s just that we took some time to settle down after marriage," says Fahadh.

There were talks of a project with Blessy earlier, in which Fahadh and Nazriya would play the lead, but it has been dropped.

Nazriya’s popularity is evident from the likes for her Facebook page, which is more than a staggering 72 lakh. Even superstars like Mohanlal and Mammootty cannot boast of such a figure for their Facebook pages.
