Written and directed by Nelson Dilipkumar and produced by Lyca Productions, Kolamaavu Kokila was a movie to reckon with in Nayanthara’s career. Her popularity reached its peak with early morning shows arranged on its release. Nayanthara played a young woman, who takes up drug peddling to make money for the treatment of her mother’s illness. A comedy caper, it was one of the big hits in 2018.
