Check out AR Rahman’s post here:

For the uninitiated, Trisha Krishnan had revealed that she bonded with Aishwarya Rai Bachchan right from the first day of the shoot, despite director Mani Ratnam’s instructions to stay away from each other. According to the actress, they ‘famously’ got along on the sets and had a long chat. Finally, director Mani Ratnam intervened fearing that their camaraderie might affect the scenes.

Chiyaan Vikram is playing the role of Aditya Karikalan, the crown prince of the Chozha empire. Aishwarya Rai Bachchan is playing the role of Nandini, the lead antagonist of Ponniyin Selvan. Trisha Krishnan is appearing as princess Kundavai Devi. Jayam Ravi plays Aditya and Kundavai’s younger brother Arunmozhi Varman, who later rose to fame in the name of Raja Raja Chozha. Karthi essays the role of Aditya and Arunmozhi’s friend and Kundavai’s love interest, Vallavaraiyan Vanthiyathevan. The second installment of Ponniyin Selvan is expected to hit the theatres in Summer 2023.
