The recipient of six National Film Awards, Padma Shree Award-winning filmmaker Mani Ratnam is set to bring his epic historical fiction film magnum opus Ponniyin Selvan to cinemas soon.

Ponniyin Selvan is based on the novel of the same name written by Kalki Krishnamurthy, it explores the fictional early life of one of India’s greatest kings Raja Raj Chola first, who rules most of South India and the Indian Ocean between 985 common era to 1014 common era.

Mani Ratnam’s dream project…

Considering the fan cult following of the filmmaker novel, Mani Ratnam planned to adapt the novel earlier in 1990 and then in 2000, but it did not materialize at that time due to financial issues and filming locations.

And after two failed attempts, the legendary director in 2019 with Lyca Productions set out to direct this upcoming masterpiece which in Ratnam’s eyes is his dream project.
