A picture from the sets of Aishwarya Rai’s upcoming film Ponniyin Selvan surfaced online. Mani Ratnam, who is doing directing duties for the upcoming Tamil historical drama, has ensured that any development around the project is under wraps. However, a stained image of the former beauty queen is being widely circulated on social media platforms. So far, this is the first picture to be leaked from the film’s secure sets. The photo shows the actress in a traditional red outfit. Adorned with heavy jewellery, Aishwarya is looking very beautiful in full costume. Standing on a platform, Aishwarya is surrounded by members of the film crew.
Reportedly, Aishwarya is to play a dual role – Nandini and her mother Mandhakini Devi. Nandini, the daughter of the silent queen, is the main antagonist of the film.
The story, based on Kalki Krishnamurthy’s 1955 mythological book, chronicles the early days of Arulmozhivarman, who became the great Chola emperor Rajaraja Chola I. Mani Ratnam, Elango Kumarvel and B Jayamohan have written the screenplay of the film. The film’s music is composed by Ratnam’s frequent collaborator AR Rahman. A Sreekar Prasad is handling the editing while Ravi Varman is the cinematographer.
The big-budget film boasts of an ensemble cast, including Aishwarya, Vikram, Jayam Ravi, Trisha, Karthi, Lal, Sarath Kumar, Prakash Raj, Jayaram, Vikram Prabhu, Aishwarya Lekshmi, Ashwin Kakumanu, Kishore, Sobhita Dhulipala, among others. Ponniyin Selvan marks the fourth collaboration of Aishwarya with Mani Ratnam. They have previously teamed up for films like Iruvar, Guru and Raavanan.
The makers have announced that the first part of the two-part epic fantasy drama will open in theaters next year. Earlier this month, the team reached Gwalior to shoot in Orchha. Over the weekend, Aishwarya was shooting in Madhya Pradesh, and returned to Mumbai a few days later. Last month, the actress shot for a schedule in Puducherry.
