There were times in Tamil cinema, where the female characterisations were so feeble and the heroines were pretty like dream girls for shaking legs and running madly behind the heroes.

But now in this year, the trend has changes with lots of newfangled writing and concepts that have portrayed them in lead roles.

The film 'Maya' has been a clear illustration and during this time, when movies like STR's Vaalu, Dhanush's Anegan and Vijay's Puli couldn't make a successful run in box office for 50 days, Nayantara's Maya has be made it with 50 days with house packed shows.

The film is directed by debutant Ashwin and is produced by Potential Studios with Aari, Robot Shankar and many others in important characters.
