"It's not because of his mannerisms or anything. I am not saying he's consciously trying to emulate Rajini sir, but it's there. Maybe the hair, the face, the look in the eye, the colour...something," she said.The same report mentioned her stating, "And I used to be quite fond of Ajith back then; I don't know if he's still around, though."The actress is now receiving flak on Twitter from fans of the actors:

Isha’s last Tamil film was Narasimma, which had actor-turned-politician Vijaylanth in the lead role. The actress is also known for her roles in Bollywood films Don (2006), and Ek Vivah Aisa Bhi (2008).She will now be seen with Tamil actor Sivakarthikeyan in the yet-untitled sci-fi film, which is reported to be about aliens. The movie will be directed by R Ravi Kumar.
