Recently over a media interaction, Hindi Cinema’s Legendary actress Aishwarya Rai Bachchan shared her esteemed actor-director faction in Indian cinema with Mani Ratnam an affinity, admiration, and creative faith that initiated with Iruvar released in1997 and continued through Guru released in.2007 Raavan released in 2010 and Ponniyin Selvan: I & II. The actor recently recalled on how she gave her consent to Ponniyin Selvan and why she would never think twice prior to collaborating with the filmmaker.
In the midst of her conversation with the media she revealed that even while working on Ponniyin Selvan Mani Ratnam urged her to say yes only if she liked the role and not because he was offering her that particular role. In his movie, he was like, don’t merely say yes. Hear it, feel it and be sure that this is the character you want to essay.
The Legendary actresd further explains her conviction , saying, “As an artist, you just know that working with Mani Sir is going to be such a special experience .. It’s not about the length of your character, a lesson which he taught me in my first movie with him.
He told her that this is not your launch movie. Amidst Iruvar there was an entire talk over her launch. Folks in Hindi industry were asking ‘she is really going to go south for your first film?’. But actually nobody does a South film or a Hindi film, you’re just doing a movie with a filmmaker. And that conviction only grew with every experience working with him. That’s Aishwarya Rai Bachchan for you.
