Anushka Rejected Ponniyin Selvan as S*Xual Harasser was there
One of the most anticipated films of the year is ponniyin selvan 2, and over the past few weeks, the team has been busy promoting the movie all across the nation. Tomorrow marks the international debut of Mani Ratnam's sequel, which stars Vikram, jayam Ravi, aishwarya Rai, and Karthi. The release of the advertising materials and new music has the fans all pumped up. It's interesting to reflect back on why a little modification in the casting strategy for the movie during its early stages did not pan out.
Anushka Shetty, a telugu actress, was initially contacted by mani ratnam and his team to take on the character that aishwarya rai bachchan performed in the ponniyin selvan movies. The "me too movement" allegations against one of the film's important crew members led the actress to reject the part, she said.
With her significant role in the bahubali series, anushka shetty has attained the pinnacle of her fame. The "Nandhini" character, which serves as the main narrative thread of the entire ponniyin selvan plot, was thus planned to be cast in her, tempting the filmmakers to do so. The actress reportedly declined the offer, noting the presence of lyricist Vairamuthu, who had originally intended to write the song lyrics for the movie. In recent years, the senior lyricist has drawn controversy due to several charges of sexual harassment made against him by numerous women.
