About Ponniyin Selvan

It is evident from the teaser that this could be undoubtedly the most expensive film in Mani Ratnam’s career. All the lead characters are given equal importance in the teaser, while Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, who just appears in two shots, seems to be playing dual roles.

In the film, Aishwarya will be seen in the character of Nandini, the wife of Periya Pazhuvettaraiyar, and her mute mother, Queen Mandakini Devi.

On Friday, the makers unveiled the first look poster of Jayam Ravi’s character from the movie. He plays the character Ponniyin Selvan.

Tweet from Madras Talkies read: “Hail the Visionary Prince, the Architect of the Golden Era, the Great Raja Raja Chola…introducing Ponniyin Selvan! (sic).”

The film has music by AR Rahman, while Ravi Varman handles the cinematography. Sreekar Prasad took care of editing, Thota Tharani was roped in for production design, and writer Jeyamohan for dialogues.
