Actress
Aishwarya
Rajesh,
who
impressed
critics
and
audiences
alike
with
her
performance
in
National
Award-winning
Tamil
drama
Kaaka
Muttai,
has
landed
the
leading
role
opposite
actor
Arjun
Rampal
in
her
Hindi
debut.
The
talented
actress
joins
the
list
of
heroines
like
Sridevi,
Asin,
Priyanka
Chopra,
Aishwarya
Rai
and
many
others,
who
went
on
to
act
in
Hindi
films
after
making
their
debut
in
Tamil.
"I
play
the
leading
lady
in
Arjun
Rampal's
latest
production
'Daddy'.
It's
a
very
bold,
performance-oriented
role,
and
the
team
had
originally
cast
someone
else.
However,
when
Arjun
saw
my
performance
in
'Kaaka
Muttai',
he
roped
me
in," Aishwarya
told
IANS.
It
was
one
of
the
girls
from
the
production
team
who
suggested
Aishwarya's
name
to
Arjun.
"This
girl
recommended
my
name
after
she
watched
'Kaaka
Muttai'.
Arjun
was
thrilled
with
my
performance
and
immediately
got
me
on
board,
and
didn't
mind
my
language
barrier," she
said,
and
added
that
she's
elated
with
the
opportunity.
Aishwarya,
who
was
last
seen
in
Arulnithi's
Aarathu
Sinam,
is
currently
shooting
for
a
yet-untitled
Tamil
project
with
actor
Sibiraj.
She
also
has
a
host
of
Tamil
projects
under
her
belt,
including
Dharma
Durai
and
Kutramum
Thandanaiyum.
