Trisha, who was preparing herself for her role in Mani Ratnam’s magnum opus ‘Ponniyin Selvan’, is expected to join the shooting of the movie in Hyderabad.
In the capital city of Telangana, art director of the film Thotta Tharani has designed a huge set at the Chola Palace. It is learnt that Trisha plays Kunthavai in ‘Ponniyin Selvan’ and she will be paired up with Karthi, who plays the role of Vandiyadevan.
Since the film is base on a legendary Tamil novel written by Kalki, the actress was reading its Hindi version to make herself familiar with the story and its characters.
According to sources, Trisha’s role in the film is Kunthavai, the bold and daring Chola princess and she would play the elder sister to Jayam Ravi and the love interest of Karthi. Sources inform that the ace director is planning to complete the entire shoot of the film this year.
Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Trisha, Aishwarya Lekshmi, Vikram Prabhu, Prabhu, Sarathkumar, Lal, Rahman, and Kishore among others play key roles in ‘Ponniyin Selvan’, bankrolled by Lyca Productions. The film has musical score by Oscar-Grammy winner A R Rahman.
