The Chennai Super Kings has announced that Nayantara is no longer their brand ambassador.

But why? Because her tight schedule in cinema makes her unable to meet her commitments of regular match appearances.

A terse press release from the Chennai Super Kings team states that the team has decided to go with a single star ambassador, Ilayathalapathy Vijay, who received much applause from the audience during the inaugural match in Chennai.

He will continue to participate in all ground promotions and match appearances.

At present, Nayantara has an extremely tight shooting schedule, since she is simultaneously doing four movies in Kollywood, Mollywood and Tollywood – Vishal's Sathyam by Rajesekhar, superstar Rajinikanth 's Kuselan by P. Vasu, Ajith's Aegan by Raju Sundaram and Twenty:20 by AMMA.

Two more movies – Vijay's Singam by Prabhu Deva and Vikram's Raja by Boopathy Pandian – will also have ravishing Nayan as the leading lady.

Nayantara was supposed to be the star attraction at the IPL match on Wednesday, but she fainted while shooting in Hyderabad for the Rajinikanth starrer Kuselan, was hospitalized, and was hence unable to come to the cricket match.


Earlier also, Nayantara did not attend the Chennai Super Kings' formal inaugural function in which star Vijay and K. Srikanth (former Indian skipper) were present.
