Actress
Aishwarya
Rai
Bachchan's
upcoming
film
Ponniyin
Selvan
is
in
tremendous
buzz
owing
to
its
ensemble
cast.
While
Aishwarya's
last
release
Fanney
Khan
was
a
flop
at
the
box
office,
fans
are
hoping
that
Ponniyin
Selvan
will
be
a
blockbuster,
as
it
is
being
helmed
by
none
other
than
filmmaker
Mani
Ratnam.
Amid
all
the
hullabaloo,
Aishwarya's
first
picture
from
the
sets
of
Ponniyin
Selvan
is
going
viral
on
social
media.
In
the
picture,
Aishwarya
is
seen
wearing
a
red
silk
saree
and
golden
jewelleries.
While
the
picture
is
not
very
clear,
her
look
has
surely
piqued
our
excitement.
The
film
is
based
on
Kalki
Krishnamurthy's
1955
novel
of
the
same
name.
Apart
from
Aishwarya,
the
star-studded
magnum
opus
also
features
actors
like
Vikram,
Karthi,
Trisha
Krishnan,
Prakash
Raj,
Jayaram,
Jayam
Ravi
and
Aishwarya
Lekshmi
among
others.
The
film
chronicles
the
story
of
the
early
days
of
Arulmozhivarman,
one
of
the
most
powerful
kings
in
the
south,
who
went
on
to
become
the
great
Chola
emperor
Rajaraja
Chola
I.
Directed
by
Mani
Ratnam,
the
film
is
backed
by

Talkies
