South Indian cinema’s “Lady Superstar” Nayanthara and her filmmaker husband Vignesh Shivan have made a massive splash in the real estate market with the purchase of a sprawling luxury duplex in Chennai’s most prestigious neighborhood, Poes Garden. According to property registration documents accessed via the analytics platform Zapkey, the couple invested Rs 31.5 crore in a massive 14,369-square-foot apartment located within the ultra-premium “Legacy” residential project. The transaction, which was officially registered on December 15, 2025, reveals a strategic ownership split, with Nayanthara holding a 90% stake and Vignesh Shivan owning the remaining 10%. The residence, spanning the fourth and fifth floors, features high-end amenities including a private theater, a gymnasium, and eight reserved parking spaces, further cementing the couple’s status as one of the most powerful pairs in the industry.
The move to Poes Garden is particularly significant as it places the couple in the heart of Chennai’s “billionaire enclave,” a locality synonymous with power and cinematic history. By moving into this high-security zone, Nayanthara and Vignesh Shivan will indeed be neighbors to some of the biggest names in India, most notably the legendary superstar Rajinikanth, whose residence has long been a landmark in the area. The neighborhood was also famously home to the late former Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J. Jayalalithaa and more recently saw the addition of actor Dhanush, who constructed a lavish bungalow worth an estimated Rs 150 crore nearby. Poes Garden remains a top choice for such high-profile figures due to its unparalleled privacy, serene tree-lined streets, and the sheer prestige associated with the address.
This latest acquisition is a major addition to Nayanthara’s already impressive real estate portfolio, which is estimated to be worth over Rs 100 crore. Beyond this new family home, the actor owns a 7,000-square-foot heritage bungalow in Alwarpet that serves as a creative studio, along with two premium apartments in Hyderabad’s upscale Banjara Hills valued at approximately Rs 15 crore each. On the professional front, Nayanthara continues to dominate the screen, with highly anticipated projects like the action-thriller Patriot alongside Mohanlal and Mammootty, and a pivotal role in Yash’s Toxic: A Fairytale for Grown-Ups. As they settle into their new palatial duplex, the couple continues to balance their massive professional success with a lifestyle that defines modern Indian royalty.
