Aishwarya to act in Mani Ratnam's film

Actress Aishwarya Rajesh has worked her way up the ladder in Tamil film industry. Today, she is one of the sought-after actresses when it comes to performance oriented roles. After Kaaka Muttai’s humongous success, she has successfully transcended borders to be part of Mollywood and Bollywood as well.

The latest development is that the actress has been roped in for maverick director Mani Ratnam’s next flick. Speaking to DC, an elated Aishwarya Rajesh says, “I am extremely thrilled to be part of this venture. At this point of time, I know that I’m doing the project, but am unaware of who I’ll be paired opposite. Every actress would have dreamt of being Mani sir’s heroine and I didn’t have to think twice when I was approached.”

With films like Gautham Menon’s Dhruva Natchathiram, Vetri Maaran’s Vada Chennai and Mani Ratnam’s untitled flick in the offing, Aishwarya Rajesh has definitely become one of the A-list actors in K’town. 

When asked if she has finally arrived in the industry, she says, “Well, I don’t know! But, I definitely feel that I belong to what they call the cream of heroines — which implies that I have collaborated with great directors that actors  crave for. I hope I get to showcase my full potential.”

Telugu actor Nani who was supposed to work with Mani Ratnam a couple of years back will be part of this flick. Another interesting casting coup is the inclusion of actress Jyothika. Shooting of the film will begin in January.

According to a source, the film will have four male leads and it is said that Fahadh Faasil, Arvind Swami and Vijay Sethupathi have been signed. An official announcement on the same will be out in the coming weeks.
