Aishwarya Rai is currently promoting Ponniyin Selvan 2, the second installment of her 2022 blockbuster directed by Mani Ratnam. She was recently in Hyderabad for a pre-launch event and pulled off a stunning look in a shimmering red and gold ethnic outfit.
Aishwarya had a small bindi on her forehead and minimal make-up. Aishwarya Rai was joined by the entire team of Ponniyin Selvan 2 at the Hyderabad event. She also thanked Mani Ratnam for casting her in several successful films while speaking on stage.
She said, “I will repeat myself, repeat forever. Thank you so much for the beginning. For Iruvar, for Raavan, Guru and today, Ponniyin Selvan. Thank you so much sir for giving me the opportunity to grow and learn and grow in my craft.
Still I am learning and I will continue to learn. So thank you for every opportunity to enjoy this magical world of cinema and this incredible craft that we have the opportunity to explore and discover. And thank you for having the opportunity to do this with you so many times. This film has been magical since from the very beginning.”

Aishwarya was accompanied by daughter Aaradhya Bachchan to Hyderabad and the mother-daughter duo returned to Mumbai late on Sunday. Aishwarya will be seen reprising her dual role in PS 2. She will be seen as the mute Queen Nandini and Queen Mandakini. Filmmaker Mani Ratnam directed the first and second installments.
The film will continue to focus on Arulmozhi Varman and his journey to become the greatest ruler of the Chola empire Rajaraja Chola I. The second installment is also expected to focus on the flashback story of Vikram aka Aditya Karikalan.
The sequel will also show the relationship between Ponniyin Selvan and Oomai Rani played by Aishwarya. The film is a film adaptation of Kalki Krishnamurthy’s Tamil novel of the same name, which was serialized in the 1950s.
