Gautham Menon is mighty impressed with Samantha’s performance as Nithya Vasudevan in Neethane En Ponvasantham and this role is expected to be different from Kaakha Kaakha’s Maya and Vinnaithaandi Varuvaaya’s Jessie, performed by Jyothika and Trisha respectively.
Samantha's role has been created with a lot of feeling by the director and he has been profuse in his praise of Samantha in his circle. Nithya is expected to be a lifetime role for Samantha.
The film is set for release on December 14 and the songs by Ilaiyaraja are already topping the charts.
