Mani Ratnam’s Magnum Opus Ponniyin Selvan is all set to reach our theatre screens on 30th September. The film’s team is meanwhile working hard to promote the movie by all means. A month ago, the first single of the film was released. Titled ‘Ponni Nathi’ it is the song that follows Vallavarayan Vandhiyathevan as he crosses the Kaveri river at Veera Narayana lake. Recently the second single, Chola Chola was released, and it has already gotten 10 million views. The makers revealed that the song is a victory celebration. Composed by AR Rahman, the song is sung by Sathya Prakash, VM Mahalingam, and Nakhul Abhyankar and penned by Ilango Krishnan.

With every update, fans are getting even and even more excited about the film’s release. Recently, there was a report that the film is set to have its Audio Launch on September 6 at Nehru Indoor Stadium in Chennai. The Music composer for the film is AR Rahman and the audio launch is expected to happen in a grand manner.

The film is to be released in 2 parts, and the first part is releasing on September 30th. The final work of the film is currently going on, and the director has reportedly made a final copy of the film. The runtime of the film is apparently 2 hours and 50 minutes or 170 minutes, which is less than several large-scale movies. Probably, Mani Ratnam went for a short and sweet first half, in order to hook the audience with a longer and more detailed second part.

Now, Actress Aishwarya Lekshmi’s character has been revealed by the makers. She will be playing the role of Poonguzhali, alias Samuthirakumari who is a boat woman. Before this, the characters of Sarathkumar and Parthiban were revealed. While the former is playing Periya Pazhuvettaraiyar, the latter is playing his brother Chinna Pazhuvettaraiyar. Watch video:
