Aishwarya's close bond with team PS2

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan has been busy promoting Ponniyin Selvan 2, with whose team she shares a close bond. She took to her Instagram to share individual photos of herself with various cast members. She posted pictures with Karthi, Sobhita Dhulipala, Aishwarya Lekshmi, Jayam Ravi and Vikram. She also posted a separate picture of herself and director Mani Ratnam, whom she lovingly calls Mani Garu, embracing each other. She had also previously thanked him for the opportunity to explore her craft through his direction. 

Ponniyin Selvan 2 got a theatrical release on 28 April. The film franchise has been a long-standing dream for director Mani Ratnam who had attempted to make the film once before, in the late 80s. He eventually realised the dream in 2019.
