After a long gap, ace director Mani Ratnam is all set to return with a movie being made on a humongous scale. The director had been trying to make Ponniyin Selvan for decades now and has said several times that it’s his dream to adapt this novel, which is about the very famous Chila kingdom, which ruled over Tamil Nadu for decades, and the desire for power within the various members of the Chola king.
Ponniyin Selvan features an ensemble cast that includes Prakash Raj, Vikram, Karthi, Aishwarya Rai, Trisha, Jayam Ravi, Sobhita Dhulipala and several others, all of whom will be seen in key roles. The movie is all set to be released on 30th September in all the South Indian languages and in Hindi, and the trailer of the movie was released recently, which has created quite the buzz among audiences.
The first song from the film, Ponge Nadhi, composed by AR Rahman, has been released today. The song is sung by AR Rahman, AR Raihanah and Bamba Bakya, while Anantha Sriram has penned the lyrics. The song features Karthi in it, and depicts a spirit of adventure and fun, with Karthi seeming to be touring the Chola kingdom. The visuals look stunning from the song, and it looks like it’s going to be a treat to watch the song on the big screen.
