Director Jeethu Joseph has denied rumors that Nayantara plays a pivotal role in his upcoming Malayalam film ‘Life of Josutty’ which features Dhileep in the lead role.

Speculations were rife that Nayantara participated in the shooting few days back and it was filmed under tight security since she had a different make-over for the movie.

“I burst into laughter after hearing these reports. Nayantara is not part of my film. I don’t know where these rumors surface from,” says Jeethu Joseph who delivered a hit for Kamal Haasan in Papanasam which is still holding well in many screens in its fourth week.
