Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Chiyaan Vikram, who played Nandini and Aditya Kariklan, stole the show in Ponniyin Selvan 2. If you haven't seen the film, the younger versions of both actors are introduced in the flashback episode, and they completely capture the audience's interest with their performances and chemistry. Sara Arjun, a child artist in the Tamil film industry, portrayed the role of younger Nandini in PS 2.
Sara Arjun's portrayal as the younger version of Nandini stood out and managed to live up to Aishwarya Rai Bachchan's standard. In Ponniyin Selvan 2, she romanced the younger version of Chiyaan Vikram and looked stunning. However, Sara's films with Vikram do not end there. Yes, she played Vikram's daughter in the blockbuster hit Deviathirumagal.
Sara Arjun landed the lead role in the Tamil drama film Deiva Thirumagal in 2010, playing a six-year-old whose father was a mentally challenged adult with the mental capacity of a six-year-old. The film debuted to critical and financial acclaim, with film critics praising Sara's performance. Sara went on to work on Kannan Iyer's spooky Hindi thriller Ek Thi Daayan (2013), which was produced by Ekta Kapoor. Then she worked on Vijay's Saivam, a family drama in which she played the lead role of Thamizhselvi, a young girl.
Sara took a trip down memory lane on Tuesday, sharing a photo of herself as a child with Vikram. It appears to be from 2011, when the film Deiva Thirumagal starring Vikram and Anushka Shetty was released in theaters. The actor is seen smiling while holding Sara in his arms.
Sara Arjun wrote the throwback photo: "From Nila to Nandini...Deiva Thirumagal, Ponniyin Selvan 2" and added: "Vikram sir" with a red heart icon. The Mahaan actor also retweeted the vintage photo, saying, "Rock on, lil brat!" "I am so proud of you." Sara Arjun has come a long way from playing Vikram's daughter in Deviathirumagal to playing his on-screen romance.
Ponniyin Selvan 2 is earning rave reviews from critics and audiences alike. According to sources, the film has made Rs 200 crore in its first four days of release. Last week, the film was released in theatres worldwide in Tamil, Hindi, Kannada, Telugu, and Malayalam.
