'Aishwarya is a supportive actress'

Arjun Sarja’s talented daughter, Aishwarya Arjun, will soon be following in her father’s footsteps — she will be seen in the upcoming Tamil comedy Pattathu Yaanai.

It seems that the debutant has already made a name for herself since her director, Boopathy Pandian, can’t stop raving about her skills. It’s well known that many star kids don’t have their parents’ talent but Boopathy claims that Aishwarya is an exception.

“Not all star kids are blessed with acting prowess, but Aishwarya is an exception. I believe she has inherited her acting skills from her father. She pulls off the most difficult scenes with ease and confidence. I’m extremely happy with the way she handles her role,” Boopathy says. “What is impressive is that she agreed to play a school-going character in her debut. I don’t think the daughter of any other star actor would agree to play such a role in her first film. She is a very supportive actress and picks things up quickly,” he adds.

In Pattathu Yaanai, she is paired with Vishal Krishna. The film also features Santhanam, Sita, Jagan, Mano Bala and Karthik in important roles. “The shooting is progressing at a brisk pace in places such as Karaikudi, Madurai, Trichy and a few other places. It’s a laugh riot and I’m sure audience will love it,” says Boopathy. S Michael Rayappan has produced the film, and it has music by S S Thaman.
