Working With Aishwarya Rai In Ponniyin Selvan Was Phenomenal Says Vikram

Vikram along with entire ensemble cast was interacting with Newshelpline during a press-conference in Mumbai to promote PS-2.

When asked about his character Karikalan being in love with Nandini (Aishwarya) in the movie and his working experience with world beauty, Vikram said, “Working with Aishwarya was phenomenal, I loved it, and it was nice sharing screen-space with her, that chemistry with her.”

“I love the unquilted love between Nandini (Aishwarya) and Aditha Karikalan (Vikram), I think it is a very different kind of love, I have romanced a lot of people in a lot of movies, so I have probably done one sided love, or mutual love, but for the first time, there is a love story, where there is person who loves him so much that she could kill him, on the other side, there is person, who love her so much that he can die for her, so what happens next is sort of fun to watch, does he die because of her? Or lives? That is beautiful thought, even in the book, their love story is not finished, it’s just left there, so conjure-up some image on our minds” added Vikram.
