I can say this multiple times & it will not be enough that how significant Aishwarya's casting in #PonniyinSelvan is! Because in our country no one will cast an almost 50 year old female actor in such a grand magnum opus as the central character! #AishwaryaRaiBachchan(1/n)...
When #ManiRatnam announced the cast of PS a lot of people were quick to say why he is not casting someone younger for the role of femme fatale Nandini Devi!
Infact it could only have been Mani who would have done this casting inspite of the very agesist movie environment! (2/n)

Today after the release of both parts, & both parts being very successful....Mani Ratnam stand vindicated. #PonniyinSelvan2
#AishwaryaRaiBachchan & her epic performance has made sure that for years to come when people will think of Nandini, they will think only of her! (3/n)

Not everyone can play a Queen! A lot of very good actors come across as playing dress-up when they play a Royal character.
#AishwaryaRaiBachchan on the other hand was born to Ace these Royal characters. Her staggering beauty, her inherent poise, her pride just fits the bill!

Nandini Devi is not just a Queen!! She is the Mother of Queens, a very nuanced & layered Femme Fatale.. a She-Cobra..& thereby a dream role!!
Ecstatic to see such unanimous praise for Aishwarya's portrayal of Nandini! A role that also does complete justice to Aishwarya's talent!

Aishwarya never has had the journalistic support that her contemporaries enjoy even for their mediocre performances.
Yet 30 years later,she is still here, still doing her work quietly,still not blowing her own trumpet,still the same enigma that no longer exists in these times.

Big Cheers to Mani Ratnam, Lyca and Aishwarya for not just a blockbuster movie but for achieving something that I feel is very significant & will probably lead to more female actors post 40 to play the lead in big movies.
Because Big movies don't just belong to male actors.

And big Cheers to haters too and Aishwarya always has had lots of them. From way too beautiful to now not so beautiful....they will keep complaining & cribbing yet wish their favourites were playing a role like Nandini for a maverick magician like Mani Ratnam. #PonniyinSelvan2
I feel #AishwaryaRaiBachchan looks ravishing in #PonniyinSelvan2 & her perf is SPECTACULAR.
She doesn't look 20 or 30 years old.But the point is she doesn't need to.We should really stop expecting women to keep looking the same forever! Let's not be obsessed with youth.

You may hate Aishwarya or find her not beautiful or not a good actor.... it's all fine.
But if you can't acknowledge her incredible career, her mega superstardom, her pop cultural impact then you are just plain stupid.
You may not appreciate her but you gotta acknowledge.
