With Ponniyin Selvan being days away from its release, there are new revelations about the movie, the cast, and even actors sharing their experience of working with each other. During one of the promotions, lead actress Trisha Krishnan was asked about her experience working with Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. What she said will shock you. While Trisha plays the role of Ilaya Piratti Kundavai Devi, the Bollywood diva portrays Queen Nandini.

In the interveiew, when Trisha Krishnan was asked how was it working with Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, she said director Mani Ratnam wanted them to interact as less as possible. For the unversed, Aishwarya and Trisha play arch-rivals in the period drama. However, the actresses got along really well and the director had to intervene time and again to remind them of their on-screen rivalry.

'I, fortunately, got to meet her and interact with her on Day 1 of my shoot, and she is beautiful inside out. And it was challenging because we are not supposed to like each other too much in this film. But we got along pretty famously on set. There were times when Mani Ratnam sir would come and say - you guys are talking too much. Stop talking, I can't have this camaraderie for my scene,' Trisha said reckoning her Ponniyin Selvan shooting days.

'She is lovely to work with and I'm sure everyone who worked with her would agree with me. She is so warm and is one of the most hardworking actors I've worked with. She spoke Sen-Thamizh like how it has to be spoken. She was getting ready with us at 2 Am. I'm very honoured that I could share screen space with her,' the actress concluded.

Ponniyin Selvan, a pan-India period drama on Chola Dynasty is slated to release on September 30 in the cinemas near you.
