Aishwarya made her acting debut under the masterful direction of Mani Ratnam in the Tamil political drama Iruvar . In a rare and demanding dual role, she played a rural beauty named Kalpana (modeled after actress Jayalalithaa) and her disillusioned actress-daughter, Pushpa. This was not a glamorous launch; it was a serious performance in a layered political narrative. The role showcased that beneath the "most beautiful woman in the world" label was a dedicated actress capable of holding her own opposite legends like Mohanlal and Prakash Raj. The film earned her the Screen Award for Best Female Debut.
She shocked audiences with a radical makeover as Sunehri, a sleek, tanned thief. Her chemistry with Hrithik Roshan and her transformation into an action star was a massive box-office draw.
Once again reuniting with Mani Ratnam, she played Nandini (a.k.a. Oomai Rani – The Mute Queen). In this two-part epic, she played a vengeful, scheming princess with a cleft lip scar who wants to destroy the Chola empire.
