Why Aishwarya Rai is ‘lost’

Working with a director of Mani Ratnam’s calibre, even the best of us tend to forget ourselves, and Aishwarya Rai is no exception. Apparently, the actress claims that when shooting with Ratnam, it is often that actors find that they are so immersed in the shooting of the scenes that they sometimes don’t realise what they are doing. The flow of the secne transforms the actors involved into the characters, and when the director finally calls ‘cut’, everyone is a little confused because of the intrruption! Now that’s superb compliment to Mani Ratnam. After all, few directors can achieve what he can. No wonder he manages to make actors dance to his tunes!
