Check out the photos below:
Talking about Rajini and the photoshoot, Athira recently told BBC, "Rajini is different - she takes care of herself, she's fit, she's bold, she's beautiful, she's fashionable. She's 69, but in her mind, she's 29, just like me."
While Rajini stated, "I've fulfilled all my family and social obligations and now I'm just doing what pleases me. I'm learning to play the drum, I'm not aiming for perfection, I'm just having fun."
She further spoke about the photoshoot by sharing, "In December, Athira asked me if I'd be interested in doing a photoshoot and whether I had any inhibitions wearing Western clothes. I said no, I used to wear them all the time when I was younger. I told her I even have a photograph in a swimsuit."
Talking about the trolls who slammed her on social media pages, Chandy went on to say, "I was called a sl*t. Someone asked me, 'Haven't you died yet?' Another suggested that I 'sit at home and read the Bible. This is your age to pray, not show off your body'. Yet another person said I was an old auto-rickshaw and even if I got a new coat of paint, I'd still be old."
Rajini made her acting debut with 2016 Malayalam movie Oru Muthassi Gadha.
