Aishwarya's real comeback film is yet to come. She is going to play main villain in Mani Ratnam's next film which is said to be the biggest historical in Tamil Film Industry. Its going to be Bahubali like grand historical.


From Quora:

Who is Nandini in ponniyin Selvan novel?




Nandhini is the antagonist in Ponniyin Selvan novel. As per the author she was far most beautiful women in chola kingdom. Her beauty is so exquisite that men fall for her even at a single glance,which changed the course of novel at many levels. for example.,

  • Pazhuvetiyar,loyal subject of Cholakingdom, helped her to plot against the princes
  • Kandhamaran, good friend of Vanthiyadevan, misunderstood him based on the accusations from Nandhini and developed rage against Vanthiyadevan
  • Parthibenthiran Pallavan, very good friend of Adithya karigalan who sweared Nandhini on hearing the flashback story between Adithya Karigalan and Nandhini, fell for her the instant he saw her and pledged his loyalty to her.

and so on..

In my point of view, Vanthiyadevan is the only character that understood her true self and stayed away from her fatal attraction.

Interestingly our another protoganist Arulmozhi Varman didn't meet Nadhini in person (in adult age).

Author portrayed Nandhini as exquisite beauty and very cunning at first. Her back story revels that she is a lonely girl grown yearned for love and care and was emotionally forced to play a key in the schemes of pandiyas against cholas. Author portrayed Nandhini's character brilliantly such that readers feel pity when she leaves the plot in fifth chapter.

Nandhini is a villianees in Ponniyin Selvan novel.

She is potrayed as a most beautiful women in the whole novel.

She came to take revenge Adhitya Karikalan for the death of her lover.

Almost all male characters in the novel who saw her fell in love with her,except vandhiyadevan and Arulmozhi varman.

Her only weapon is her beauty,by using that she almost destroyed the chola kingdom.

According to me,she is the most tragic character in the novel.

The whole story is naratted from the side of chola.But cholas and pandyas are enemies.From her point of view, Karikalan killed her lover,it's normal for her to take revenge.she married pazhuvetayan an old man inorder to execute her plans.

she is the perfect example that women can do anything even built the kingdom or destroy it.

Actor Dulquer Salmaan to make an appearance in Mani Ratnam's next. Reports suggest that the actor is doing a vital role in the veteran filmmaker, Mani Ratnam's next. The film is an adaptation of a novel Ponniyin Selvan.'

The novel written by Kalki Krishnamurthy is one of the historical novels in Tamil. The novel has five volumes in it. The novel portrays the life of Rajaraja Chola I.

The film has a huge number of artists including Vikram, Vijay Sethupathi, Jayam Ravi and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. The project was planned a few years ago but has not proceeded as the project needed a huge amount for production.

However, recent reports suggest that the movie is about to start and Lyca Productions has backed the project.

'Puratchi Thalaivar' MGR tried, then our Kamal sir tried. Happy finally it will become a reality as a Magnum opus film by Mani Ratnam sir & as an epic web series by @soundaryaarajni soon. Best wishes to both. #PonniyinSelvan is the most awaited tale on screen

Her other big director Sanjay Leela Bhansali has found Deepika as replacement of Aishwarya since later is older now.

In Bollywood she can play some off track films but there is nothing for middle aged actreesss in Bollywood except playing motherly and sisterly roles.

She should do something on Netflix then, have her own series or something. She has the money, global recognition and contacts and it would work with her scheduling too. She needs to be more smart about her choices.

The world is changing and there is so much more she could be doing.
