Director Mani Ratnam’s Ponniyin Selvan’s shoot is currently underway in Orchha, Madhya Pradesh. And fans who wanted to know some update about the movie are in for a treat. A picture of Aishwarya Rai Bachchan’s look from the film sets got leaked and we have to say that she looks resplendent. In the leaked photo, the actress was seen in a bright pink silk saree with heavy jewellery. She was surrounded by her assistants and the film’s crew as they were getting ready for a shot.
For the unversed, she will be seen playing two roles – Nandini and Mandakini Devi. Last month, she met Varalaxmi Sarathkumar and her sister Pooja in Pondicherry and they shot some important scenes there. The film marks her comeback in the film industry after almost four years.
