The short first-look promo revealed both Sarathkumar and Parthiban wearing armour and sporting long grey hair. The duo had a grim look on their face. In the text layout of the promo, the words, “The Cholas are coming” were written in bold letters.
From the short clip, it is evident that Sarathkumar and Prathiban play titular roles in the grand film. While Sarathkumar’s Periya Pazhuvettarayar, undertakes the character of Aishwarya’s on-screen husband in the movie, Parthiban aka Chinna Pazhuvettarayar will play Sarathkumar’s reel-life brother.
It has also been reported that the trailer of the film as well as the first soundtrack will be released on September 6.
Ponniyin Selvan is based on renowned novelist Kalki Krishnamurthy’s 1995 novel of the same name. It includes a brilliant cast of Bollywood actress Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, and South superstars Chiyyan Vikram, Karthi, Shobhita Dhulipala, and Trisha Krishnan.
Legendary composer AR Rahman has been given the responsibility to compose the music in the film. The first part of the period drama will mark its presence in the theatres on September 30 this year in Tamil, Telegu, and Hindi language.
Earlier, some behind-the-scenes pictures of the film shooting were widely circulated on social media. The pictures saw the cast and crew members having a ball while filming. Cinematographer Ravi Varman posed for numerous clicks with the actors. Aishwarya’s snap with the cinematographer where the actress could be seen decked up in a royal costume went immensely viral.
