The movie is an adaptation of Manfredi’s work and stars Aishwarya alongside Colin Firth and Ben Kingsley.
Manfredi said, “My character of the leading lady was totally different. She was from a village but Aishwarya was totally different. She was the lover of the protagonist…but she acted as if the film was for kids,” Manfredi is quoted to have told IANS.

“She has such strong expressive and beautiful eyes. Some little expression of love would have made the film more different,” Manfredi said adding, “I have noticed that everybody who has not read the book liked the film and those who read the book did not like the movie. This is very usual because they are two different kinds of expression. While the book uses words, cinema uses images
