The 45-year-old actress, who was in Chennai for an event, opened up about working with Mani Ratnam on his new ambitious project and the relationship she share with him. As quoted by The Hindu, she said, “I will confirm that I am doing the film. I am on this journey with him, and it will be an honour to be a part of anything Mani chooses to do ever.”

“I don’t think it will be fair to override Mani sir and speak about the project. He’s my guru. I started my first film ever (Iruvar) with him, and even though there’s such warmth and familiarity in our professional relationship today, it’s his wish to share details with the world whenever he chooses to,” she further added.
