The first part of filmmaker Mani Ratnam’s Tamil-language historical drama Ponniyin Selvan is set to release in 2022, the makers announced on Monday. The star-studded magnum opus stars an ensemble cast of actors like Vikram, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Karthi, Trisha Krishnan, Prakash Raj, Jayaram, Jayam Ravi and Aishwarya Lakshmi.
The film is based on Kalki Krishnamurthy’s 1955 novel Ponniyin Selvan. The book narrates the story of the early days of Arulmozhivarman, one of the most powerful kings of the south, who later became the great Chola emperor Rajaraja Chola I.
Ponniyin Selvan is backed by Ratnam’s production house Madras Talkies in association with Alliraja Subhaskaran’s banner Lyca Productions. The official Twitter handle of the production house shared the latest poster of the film with 2022 as the year of release.
“The Golden Age comes to life! #PonniyinSelvan #PS1,” the caption read. Ratnam has co-written the script of the film with Elango Kumaravel. B Jayamohan has been credited as the dialogue writer on the film.
The film’s music has been composed by Ratnam’s frequent collaborator and Oscar-winning composer AR Rahman. Cinematographer Ravi Varman has shot the film. Meanwhile, Ratnam is awaiting the release of the Tamil film anthology Navarasa, which he co-produced with Jayendra Panchapakesan.
Produced by Ratnam, Navarsa is based on nine rasas or emotions and will premiere on August 6 on streaming platform Netflix.
