Aaradhya Bachchan got compliments from Trisha and Vikram at a screening for Ponniyin Selvan 2 recently. Here's what they told her.

Actor Aishwarya Rai recently met her co-stars from Ponniyin Selvan 2 at a screening. She brought along her husband, actor Abhishek Bachchan and their daughter Aaradhya too. At the screening, everyone from the cast of the film took turns to meet and hug Aishwarya and Aaradhya, with some even giving compliments to the young girl.

First, Vikram gave Aaradhya a hug and said, “You look more and more fabulous.” Aaradhya thanked him for the compliment. Then Trisha Krishnan gave her a hug and said, “God, you are as tall as your mom now!” Aaradhya responded with a smile.

The team then came together for pictures, which were shared on the Instagram handle of Madras Talkies. Aishwarya wore a blue suit while Aaradhya wore a white and pink outfit. Abhishek was in his usual all-black casual look. Trisha also looked comfortable in her black top, black pants and blue shirt combo. Vikram looked stylish in a printed shirt and his hair styled in dreadlocks. He also wore sunglasses.

The star cast also includes Jayam Ravi, Karthi, Sobhita Dhulipala, Aishwarya Lekshmi and others. It released in five languages across the country. The film is estimated to have collected ₹38 crore in India on opening day and ₹55 crore worldwide.

Speaking about the film, director Mani Ratnam said, “For years, India has been making films in Hindi and they have travelled down south. Aradhana was a huge hit there and there have been several instances. It is only a return gift I think.”

"It's a fantastic sign that you can make a film in any language in India and it'll become an Indian film, not necessarily a north, south Indian film or a Hindi film. So I think it's good. I think people have become more open to it, and that will only increase the variety of films, variety of talent, and improve the overall standard of films," he told PTI.

Aishwarya and Abhishek got married in 2007 and Aaradhya was born in 2011. Aaradhya often accompanies her mom to events in India and overseas. She was last seen with her at the opening of Nita Mukesh Ambani Cultural Centre in Mumbai.
