Team OTTplay

May 1, 2023

Impressed by Ponniyin Selvan

Chaitra Achar loved the looks created in Mani Ratnam's Ponniyin Selvan, especially, Trisha's Kundavai

No particular inspiration

Chaitra says that she didn't try to replicate one particular look for this series of pictures

Yet another ethnic look

Chaitra, who says that she carries off ethnic outfits better than any other, gave Trisha's Ponniyin Selvan look her spin

Driven by curiosity

The photo shoot also came about because Chaitra wondered how characters from mythology and epics would have looked

Feeling like royalty

The idea, she says, was also to see how she would look dressed like a queen or princess from that era

Loved the look

Chaitra's interpretation of Kundavai is a look that she absolutely loved

'Hope to play royalty onscreen'

"Some day, I hope, I will get to play one such character and dress up"

Shoots are like script selection

Chaitra had earlier told us that she goes about photo shoots as she would with choosing scripts

Challenging herself

The idea, she had said, was to challenge herself with looks she'd normally not do

Awaiting multiple releases

While she experiments with photo shoots in her free time, Chaitra is also waiting for some of her films to release

Wide variety of characters

Chaitra will be seen in Sapta Sagaradaache Ello, Strawberry, Happy Birthday to me and a 'secret' project she's excited about
