Chennai, July 7 (SocialNews.XYZ) Actress Aishwarya Lekshmi, who is one of the producers of director Gautham Ramachandran's upcoming film, 'Gargi', featuring actress Sai Pallavi in the lead, on Thursday broke down on stage while talking about the film.

Aishwarya Lekshmi, who rose up to speak at a press meet called by the unit of the film, which is being presented by Suriya's 2D Entertainment, turned emotional almost a couple of minutes into her speech.
