with depth’ like PS-II in Bollywood.  In an interview with Film Companion, when asked why she doesn’t get a ‘role with depth and complexity’ like in PS-II in Bollywood, Aishwarya Rai


Bachchan replied, “Well that's a silent question I think everybody normally ends up asking. We are all creative people, when something turns out so good and feels so right, creatively


for the people working on it, as well as for the audience, that's the response it evokes. I think one of the most beautiful and most rewarding moments is when questions like these arise


for the actors, the leading ladies...”  She further went on to heap praise on Ponniyin Selvan 2 director Mani Ratnam and said, “There's a reason we salute Mani Ratnam and directors


like him, who do creative work like this, and that's why it is such a pleasure for us as artistes to work with them, and to come away with results like this and movies like this, where


we are proud of the work we have done. We feel immensely satisfied and Ponniyin Selvan has definitely been immensely satisfying for all of us.”  Aishwarya Rai Bachchan’s performance was


widely appreciated by the audience. Abhishek Bachchan also lauded his wife’s performance and called it ‘career best’. The actor took to Twitter and wrote, “#PS2 is simply fantastic. At a


loss for words right now. So overwhelmed. Well done to the entire team Mani Ratnam, Vikram, Trisha, Jayam Ravi, Karthi, and the rest of the cast and crew. And so, so proud of Mrs. Her best


by far. #AishwaryaRaiBachchan.” Helmed by Mani Ratnam, Ponniyin Selvan 2 is a direct sequel to a period drama based on Kalki Krishnamurthy's popular historical novel ‘Ponniyin Selvan’.
