Aishwarya Lekshmi, Jayaram and Sobhita Dhulipala are among the cast members. The Ponniyin Selvan film franchise has been a long-standing dream for director Mani Ratnam, who had attempted to make the film once, in the late 80s. He eventually realised the dream in 2019. Next, Chiyaan Vikram will be seen in Pa Ranjith’s Thangalaan. The film is based on true events of mine workers in the Kolar Gold Fields. It will be released later this year.
