Aishwarya Rai and Trisha Krishnan are epitome of beauty in one frame as they pose for a selfie on PS-I sets

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Trisha Krishnan will share the screen space for the first time in Mani Ratnam's ambitious historical drama Ponniyin Selvan: I, which is all set to release on September 30. While in the film their characters are at loggerheads, the two ladies connected well off-screen.

Now, a picture from the sets of Ponniyin Selvan has gone viral on social media. In the picture, Aishwarya and Trisha can be seen dolled up in accordance with their character as the two divas pose for a selfie. Needless to say, both the ladies looked gorgeous in the viral photo.

The film also stars Vikram, Jayam Ravi, Karthi, Aishwarya Lekshmi, and Sobhita Dhulipala.

Earlier, Trisha spoke in an interview with NDTV about working with Aishwarya. She said, "I fortunately got to meet her and interact with her on the day one of my shoot. She is beautiful inside and out, I don't even need to say that. The thing is, this was challenging because we are not supposed to like each other too much in this film, but we got along pretty famously on set. There were times when Mani sir would come and say, 'listen, you guys are taking too much, stop talking, I can't have this camaraderie for my scene."

She further added, "She is lovely to work with, and I'm sure everyone here and who's worked with her would agree me that she is so warm and one of the most hardworking actors I have worked with. She spoke in chaste Tamil and how it has to be spoken. She will get up at 2 am and get ready with us. I am very honoured that I could share a screen space with her.”

In the film, Aishwarya plays the antagonist Nandini while Trisha plays Chola princess Kundavai. The film is based on the novel on iconic five-volume novel, Ponniyin Selvan, authored by Kalki Krishnamurthy.

The film is all set to release on September 30 in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, and Kannada. It is bankrolled by Allirajah Subaskaran under the banner of Lyca Productions.
