Nayanthara and Vigneshwar Acquire Luxurious Duplex in Chennai’s Poes Garden for ₹31.5 Crore

South Indian actress Nayanthara and her husband Vigneshwar Sivakolundu have made a significant real estate investment by purchasing a luxury duplex apartment in the upscale Poes Garden area of Chennai for ₹31.5 crore. According to property registration documents accessed by Zapkey, the apartment is located on the fourth and fifth floors of the 'Legacy' project in Poes Garden, a prestigious locality known for housing the residences of veteran actor Rajinikanth and the late former Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J. Jayalalithaa.

The duplex apartment boasts a super built-up area of 14,369 sq ft, with an undivided share of land measuring 5,308 sq ft. The transaction value translates to a price of around ₹21,946 per sq ft, as shown in the documents. The sale deed was registered on December 15, 2025, with Landmark Metro Projects Private Limited listed as the seller.

The property is jointly owned by the couple, with Nayanthara holding a 90% share and Vigneshwar Sivakolundu holding the remaining 10%. The apartment also comes with eight reserved covered parking slots in the stilt area, adding to its luxury and convenience.

Nayanthara is known to own multiple properties across cities, including Hyderabad, Chennai, and Kerala. Her ancestral home in Kerala is considered one of the most luxurious properties in the state. She also owns two houses in Hyderabad’s upscale Banjara Hills neighborhood, each reportedly valued at around ₹15 crore, according to GQ.

In 2024, another movie star, Dhanush, was in the news for his recent purchase of a ₹150 crore bungalow in Chennai’s Poes Garden, which sparked a fair amount of public discussion. Dhanush later responded to the criticism, clarifying his reasons for the purchase.

According to a Knight Frank India report, Chennai’s residential prices continued their steady upward trajectory in 2025, with average values rising 7% YoY to ₹5,135 per sq ft. This appreciation has been driven by sustained employment-led housing demand from the IT and GCC ecosystem, improving rental fundamentals, and infrastructure-led connectivity gains, particularly across metro-linked corridors. The price growth remains broad-based yet measured, underscoring Chennai’s position as one of India’s most stable residential markets where capital value appreciation is firmly anchored in end-user demand rather than speculative excess.
