Cultural depictions
[edit]- Ayesha Ali Raja (played by Genelia D'Souza) appears as a character in a Malayalam film titled Urumi. The film is based on a fictional story about a young Indian who tries to assassinate Portuguese explorer, Vasco da Gama. The movie was released on 31 March 2011. But the Arakkal Ayesha played by Genelia D'Souza is different from Aysha Aliraja.
