Aishwarya Rai Bachchan is one of the most popular actresses of Indian cinema. The actress has been renowned for her beauty and stellar acting abilities. She was last seen in Mani Ratnam’s magnum opus Ponniyin Selvan 2, but before that, her last film was Karan Johar’s Ae Dil Hai Mushkil alongside Ranbir Kapoor and Anushka Sharma.
despite saying no to various Bollywood Projects and a myriad of commercials, Aishwarya immediately said yes to Mani Ratnam as soon as he offered her Ponniyin Selvan. This is because there is a very good bond between the director and the actress.
Aishwarya made her acting debut in 1997 and the film was produced by Mani Ratnam, the wizard of South Indian cinema. They got a chance to act in Iruvar, and since then, Mani Ratnam and Aishwarya have shared a special bond. After that, they worked together in many films like Guru, Raavan, and Ponniyin Slaven and all of them were huge hits.
Even when Mani Ratnam was planning Ponniyin Selvan, he had already decided that he would offer the role of Nandini to Aishwarya. In an interview, actress Trisha Krishnan revealed that she wanted to play the role of Nandini and went to Mani Ratnam’s office to talk about it. However, the director refused and said that he could not offer the role to anyone except Aishwarya. Later, Trisha agreed to him and played the role of Kundavai in the film.
Nandini’s character is the antagonist in the film; She wants to avenge the death of the Pandya ruler Veerapandian and also tries to conquer the Chola kingdom.
Recently, Ponniyin Selvan 2 hit the theatres, and the film has opened to great response from critics and performed well at the box office as well. The film has completed one week’s runtime in theaters and now stands at Rs 150 crore mark at the domestic box office.
