PS-2 star Chiyaan Vikram got candid about the palpable on-screen chemistry with Aishwarya Rai in Mani Ratnam’s magnum opus.
Mani Ratnam’s highly anticipated historic epic drama Ponniyin Selvan 2, directed by Mani Ratnam, hit theatres on April 28 and made an impressive Rs 38 crore on its opening day at the box office. The movie has been lauded by critics and has received a positive response from audiences. Not only that, fans especially loved Chiyaan Vikram’s Aaditha Karikalan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan’s Nandini endearing chemistry. Now the South superstar who has previously played a love interest to Aishwarya in Raavan spilled beans about the on-screen bond with the actress.
Speaking with Zoom Entertainment, Vikram explained, “It is very interesting because in Raavan, we do not get to be with each other. Even in PS 1, I was just there in one scene, it was hardly just a glimpse of her and me together. And again in part two, I don’t know how many scenes are we together for.”
He also added, “I think that the love and romance between the two (characters) is so strong that the audience wants them to meet. That is why they go back to Raavan. But again in Raavan we do not get together and that is working in our favour I think.”
