Abhishek Bachchan shares morphed poster of Ponniyin Selvan to wish Aishwarya, spells her name wrong, deletes later

Abhishek Bachchan shared a morphed Ponniyin Selvan poster while giving a shoutout to Aishwarya Rai. He also spelled her name incorrectly.

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan returned to Tamil cinema with Ponniyin Selvan, which opened in theatres on September 30. Abhishek Bachchan, who is married to the actress, sent his best wishes to the team. He said that everyone associated with the biggie had worked very hard to make it a reality. He went on to describe it as a masterpiece. In his excitement, however, AB Jr ended up sharing a morphed poster of the film and spelled Aishwarya's name incorrectly. Ponniyin Selvan is a period drama, directed by Mani Ratnam.

On Friday, September 30, Abhishek Bachchan took to Twitter to wish Aishwarya good luck for her latest release, Ponniyin Selvan. He described the film as a 'masterpiece'. He, however, shared a morphed poster of Ponniyin Selvan. He also misspelled Aishwarya's name. AB Jr soon realised this and deleted the post.

Ponniyin Selvan is touted to be a potential game-changer for the Tamil film industry. The two-part franchise has reportedly been shot on a budget of Rs 500 crore, making it one of Lyca's most ambitious projects. The cast is headlined by Chiyaan Vikram, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Karthi, Jayam Ravi, Trisha, Aishwarya Lekshmi, Sobhita Dhulipala, Jayaram, R. Parthiban, and Kishore, among others.

The film hit the screens on September 30, a day after Dhanush's Naane Varuven. It received positive reviews, with most critics praising the intense performances. Some, however, felt that the narrative was slow. Ponniyin Selvan will premiere on Amazon Prime Video after releasing in theatres. The film's sequel is expected to open in theatres nine months after the first part.
