According to the latest buzz, Nayanthara is also likely to be a part of 'Ponniyin Selvan' and she is been approached to play a very important character Poonguzhali which is responsible for many major twists in the story.  Of course, we have to wait for the official confirmation on every aspect of this project which is expected pretty soon.
