Ash who came with her mom looked simple and elegant in a white designer sari and flashed her famous smile and won over everybody including veterans like K.Balachandar, Bharathiraaja, director Mahendran among others.
Two songs and trailer were screened for the invitees who were overflowing and could not be accommodated. There were utter chaos and confusion outside the hall where invitees were not allowed inside due to lack of seats and for security reasons The audio was launched by Aishwarya who gave the first copy to Vairamuthu.
The presence of Aishwarya Rai had an electrifying presence at the function and took the limelight away from the audio launch as speaker after speaker was praising Aishwarya’s beauty, her simplicity, down-to-earth nature and so on. Poor Ash who could not follow what they were talking, but sat patiently and pretended to be enjoying every bit of it.
The dignitaries on dais were director Thamirai, music director Karthik Raja, Parthipan, Hansraj Saxena, Vairamuthu, Ramanarayanan, VC Guhanathan, Abhirami Ramanthan, directors Sasi, Lingusamy and Ameer. The hero and heroine of Rettaisuzhi had no seat and were seen watching the proceedings in a corner..
The flow of events was the normal one with each and every speaker praising Shankar and his S pictures for making quality films and wishing Rettaisuzhi all the best. Said Shankar: “ I am very proud that I produced this film in which two veterans of Tamil industry KB sir and Bharathiraaja are pitted against each other. Recently I watched a Hindi film 3 Idiots and came out smiling. Similarly, I assure that after watching Rettaisuzhi everyone will have a smile on their face”.
Shankar also praised Aishwarya to the skies: “She is not only the most beautiful woman in the world but a hard working artiste, dedicated to whatever she does. Even while we were shooting in a forest near South Africa, she adjusted in minimal comforts and rough terrain”.
Ash spoke the last and she was all smiles as she greeted everyone saying Ellavarkkum Vanakkam and said: “I am so happy to be back in Tamil working with incredibly talented and wonderful people. KB sir and Bharathiraaja sir, your generosity to me has been a bit overwhelming. I saw the trailer and songs and think that Rettaisuzhi will be a complete film for family watching. I enjoyed working with Shankar sir in Jeans, a film that was an integral part of my career. It taught me so much about the importance of content and gave me confidence to make it big later. Now the last schedule of the Enthiren is going on and Shankar sir is one human being who has his soul in the right place and all his films have something to say to the audience. I thank everyone for all the love showered on me”.
