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 to promote the movie in all ways. Last week, the first single of the film was released. Titled ‘Ponni Nathi’ it is the song that follows Vallaivarayan Vandhiyathevan as he crosses the Kaveri river at Veera Narayana lake. The song received great views shortly after it released, and a BTS video of the song was released recently.

Now, the Ponniyin Selvan team have released a new promo that shows Karthi, Trisha and Aishwarya Rai getting ready for their shots as Vallavarayan Vandhiyathevan, Kundavai and Nandini respectively. The video has been released by Lyca Productions on Instagram as a reel. “All that glitters in gold!

Ponniyin Selvan is originally a Tamil novel based on the life of Raja Raja Chola, written by Kalki. While there have been several attempts in the past to make it as a film, Mani Ratnam has now started this project, which will be released in two parts. Starring Vikram, Jayam Ravi, Trisha, Aishwarya Rai, Aishwarya Lekshmi and Sarathkumar in lead roles, this is considered to be Mani Ratnam’s magnum opus. Jayam Ravi is said to play Arun Mozhi Varman, while Trisha is said to play his sister Kundavai. Karthi will be seen as Vanthiya Thevan, while Aishwarya Rai will be Nandini. Jayaram, Prakash Raj, Lal and Kishore will be playing prominent roles.

The film is bankrolled by Lyca Productions and Madras Talkies. The music director for the movie is AR Rahman. PS-1 is slated for a worldwide release on September 30, 2022, in Tamil, Hindi, Telugu, Kannada, and Malayalam.
