Aishwarya Lekshmi was seen as a “fierce” boat woman in Mani Ratnam’s dream project Ponniyin Selvan. Talking about her character the actress made some interesting comments.
Lekshmi in an interview said “I never expected my character to be appreciated, accepted or loved like this. I expected the movie to do well, I expected everybody’s character to do well because all of them are superstars, and I expected to bask in their glory. I never expected to be loved like this. I feel the love everywhere I go,”
Also, she added that the length of her role notwithstanding, she feels honoured to have acted in a Ratnam movie.
”I feel honoured that I could play Poonguzhali because the readers of Kalki’s Ponniyin Selvan, the novel, she was an icon. I am glad I could play her. I am glad I could be part of Mani Ratnam sir’s movie” Lekshmi said.
“My character Poonguzhali didn’t have much screen time but she was a well-formed person in her own right. She is fearless, fierce, she does all the physical work that is necessary.”I have been lucky enough to portray strong characters in all the languages that I have worked in, more than strong, and very well-written. I feel there is a similarity that all of them have survived something, all of them are capable of rising to the occasion”. she added.
