Aditi Rao Hydari was last seen in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Padmaavat, playing Alauddin Khilji’s wife Mehrunissa. Though she did not have much of a screen time, she still made a remarkable appearance. Aditi is being appreciated for her performance in the film.

The beautiful and talented actress played a daunting character of a rape victim in Bhoomi alongside Sanjay Dutt. And now the actress has confirmed collaboration with Mani Ratnam for his next Tamil film.

Aditi last collaborated with Ratnam in “Kaatru Veliyidai” last year. Confirming this development, Aditi said she couldn’t have hoped for a better start to 2018. “The positive reviews for ‘Padmaavat’ were totally unexpected since I thought I didn’t have much to do. Now I am again doing a film with Mani Ratnam, just a year after ‘Kaatru Veliyidai’,” she said.

Doing two successive projects of Mani Ratnam, does it mean she is his new muse? “I’d love to be,” she laughed, and added: “Which actress wouldn’t want to work with Mani sir, and that too twice within one year? I learned so much while doing ‘Kaatru Veliyidai’. I am sure this time again I will come away with something very valuable.”

Aditi was unwilling to share any more details about the project but said it would take her to a new area of emotions. “It won’t be anything like ‘Kaatru Veliyidai’. Also, this time I hope to speak my own Tamil lines on-screen. For ‘Kaatru Veliyidai’, I had diligently learned the language and practiced the nuances. But finally my voice was dubbed by someone who did a wonderful job.”

“This time, I will try to do my own lines. But of course, I’ll go with whatever Mani sir decides.”
