On the work front, Aishwarya was last seen in Mani Ratnam’s Ponniyin Selvan II, which hit theatres in 2023. The actor took on dual roles in the period drama and shared the screen with Vikram, Jayam Ravi, Karthi and Trisha Krishnan. She is yet to announce her next project officially. Meanwhile, Aishwarya remained in the spotlight earlier this year for her appearances at the Cannes Film Festival 2026.
