Aishwarya Shankar got engaged to Tarun Karthikeyan back in February after her marriage to cricketer Rohit Damodaran was dissolved after he was booked under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act for allegedly sexually harassing a 16-year-old girl. Shankar, on the other hand, has been busy shuffling his time between the sets of 'Ulaganayagan' Kamal Haasan's magnum opus Indian 2 and his directorial debut in Telugu titled Game Changer with Ram Charan. While Indian 2, a sequel to Indian (1996), has been announced for a grand worldwide theatrical release in June, Game Changer is still filming and is en route to completion soon.
