AR Rahman shares selfie with Ponniyin Selvan I stars Aishwarya Rai, Vikram, Trisha; fans enquire about ‘budget flight’

On Friday night, Ponniyin Selvan I actors Vikram, Aishwarya Rai, and Trisha posted an incredible flight selfie with music legend AR Rahman. After attending a promotional event, the musician was travelling to Mumbai from Hyderabad with the three of them.

AR Rahman commented on Instagram after posting the image, “Who do you think is travelling with me? On the road from Hyderabad to Mumbai… promotions for PS 1!” Vikram is seated next to the black-clad music composer, who is also wearing identical glasses and a mask as he takes the photo. Aishwarya Rai may be seen conversing with Trisha from a short distance away. Trisha is wearing a pink outfit, while Aishwarya is wearing a white outfit with a black mask.

As they were all aboard a flight, eager onlookers watched them all. The most crucial query is, “How come this isn’t business class or a private jet?” a fan questioned. We adore a budget (flight emoji),” another remarked. A fan commented, “Everyone from behind (laughing emoji)” after observing how individuals seated behind them tried to fit into the photo. “Aish and Trish are becoming close friends,” another fan added. Happy to see it.

In the movie Ponniyin Selvan I, Aishwarya and Trisha have competing characters. Trisha plays the Chola princess Kundavai in the movie, while Aishwarya portrays the villain Princess Nandini. In an interview with NDTV, Trisha had said of her friendship with Aishwarya off-screen, “The thing is, this was tough since we are not supposed to like each other too much in this film, but we got along rather wonderfully on set. Mani Sir would occasionally appear and remark, “Listen, you people are taking too much, stop talking, I can’t have this camaraderie for my scenario.”

The soundtrack for the Mani Ratnam movie, which hits theatres on September 30, was composed by AR Rahman. Along with its Telugu and Hindi translations, Ponge Nadhi and Kaveri Se Milne, he has also performed the Tamil song Ponni Nadhi.

Khan, the most successful actor in Bollywood, made ₹25000 cr at the box office, surpassing the combined earnings of Shah Rukh, Salman Khan, and Aamir Khan.

With a cumulative gross of ₹25000 crore at the box office, this ‘non superstar’ may just be the most successful Indian actor ever. But there is a small catch.
It is a testament to their domination of Hindi cinema that the three Khans have starred in most of the highest-grossing Bollywood films over the last three decades. One or the other of Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, and Aamir Khan have led 90% of the biggest films in Hindi cinema during this period. So one would assume that Bollywood’s ‘most successful’ Khan would be either of these three. But that depends on what metric one chooses for success. If it is simply box office collections globally, then a fourth name – a rather surprising one at that – beats these three superstars.

Bollywood’s most successful Khan

As lead stars, there is no denying Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, and Aamir Khan’s box office pull. In their career, they are the top draw at the ticket window. Shah Rukh’s films have collectively earned just under ₹9000 crore at the box office worldwide, while Salman ( ₹7000 crore) and Aamir ( ₹6500 crore) follow closely behind. Together, their films (including overlaps like Karan Arjun and Andaz Apna Apna) have earned ₹22,000 crore. But the figure is less than what the films featuring the late Irrfan Khan have earned. Courtesy of his stellar Hollywood career that allowed him to star in many big blockbusters, Irrfan was able to leap past his more popular Bollywood colleagues. In a career that spanned over 25 years, Irrfan’s Indian films earned just over ₹2000 crore. But the bulk of his box office earnings came from his Hollywood releases, which have a combined gross of over $2.5 billion ( ₹22,500 crore).

However, one might argue that the OG Khans still win this as most of their films had them in the lead, while Irrfan was largely playing the supporting role to bigger stars like Chris Pratt (Jurassic World), Andrew Garfield (The Amazing Spider-Man), and Tom Hanks (Inferno).

Irrfan Khan’s stellar Hollywood career

Irrfan made a name for himself in Hindi cinema in the early 2000s with critically acclaimed performances in Haasil, Maqbool, Life in a Metro, and Paan Singh Tomar. His breakthrough in the West came with a supporting role in Danny Boyle’s Oscar-winning film Slumdog Millionaire. This led to small but significant roles in Hollywood blockbusters such as The Amazing Spider-Man (2012), Life of Pi (2012), Jurassic World (2015), and Inferno (2016). His last English language film, Puzzle, starred him in the lead role alongside Kelly Macdonald. Irrfan was diagnosed with cancer in 2018, to which he succumbed in 2020. He was 53.
