Shalini also part of Mani Ratnam’s Ponniyin Selvan?

Mani Ratnam’s ‘Ponniyin Selvan’ is a highly ambitious film that has some of India’s best technicians and actors from various languages. Based on the historical Tamil novel of the same name written by Kalki Krishnamurthy, it tells the story of early days of Arulmozhivarman, who later became the great Chola emperor, Raja Raja Chola I.

‘Ponniyim Selvan’ cast already includes popular actors like Aishwarya Rai, Vikram, Trisha, Vikram Prabhu, Karthi, Jayam Ravi, Aishwarya Lekshmi, Sarath Kumar, Prakash Raj, Kishore, Jayaram, Rahman, Lal and Ashwin Kakumanu. Latest buzz is that Shalini has also agreed to play a cameo role in the film.

After getting married to Ajith in 2000, Shalini has completely stayed away from movies. ‘Alaipayuthe’ directed by Mani Ratnam is one of her last released films before she quit cinema. Shalini continues to share great bond with the veteran director and if things go well, she might be making her comeback after two decades with ‘Ponniyin Selvan’.

An official confirmation is still awaited.
