After four long years, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan will soon be seen in Mani Ratnam‘s magnum opus ‘Ponniyin Selvan: I’. Ever since the new poster from the much-anticipated film featuring the versatile actress has been released it has sent social media into a frenzy. As Nandini, Aishwarya is looking ethereal in ethnic outfit and adorns lots of embellishments. While fans have already gone berserk seeing the poster, the actress received a huge shout-out from one of her fan groups in Kolkata.

In fact, many enthusiasts from the fan group are planning something big ahead of ‘Ponniyin Selvan: I’s release in September. Buzz is strong that these Kolkata fans of Aishwarya Rai might buy all the movie tickets for a theatrical show in a South Kolkata-based cinema hall. They have already chalked out the plan and even getting ready to pay a special tribute to the Bollywood diva on the film’s first day-first show. If the rumours are true then the fan frenzy will surely be a thing to watch in September this year.

Meanwhile, ‘Ponniyin Selvan: I’ marks Aishwarya and the maverick director Mani Ratnam’s fourth film together. The historical period piece has a stellar cast including Vikram, Jayam Ravi, Karthi, Trisha, Jayaram, Aishwarya Lekshmi, R. Sarathkumar and Sobhita Dhulipala. The film is the first part of two huge films based on Kalki Krishnamurthy’s 1955 novel Ponniyin Selvan.

On the work front, Aishwarya was last seen in the 2018 film ‘Fanney Khan’ co-starring Anil Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao.
