"Dear Friends from the Press and the Media,

We warmly invite you to the teaser launch of our film 'Ponniyin Selvan' Part-1 on 8th July 2022. We would be delighted to have your support when we bring out the first visuals of our film.

'Ponniyin Selvan' Part-1 is slated for a worldwide release on September 30, 2022 in Tamil, Hindi, Telugu, Kannada, and Malayalam.

The magnum opus directed by Mr. Mani Ratnam is based on Kalki's eponymous Tamil novel that was serialised in the 1950s and has remained a sensational success ever since.

An adventure ride set in the 10th century, 'Ponniyin Selvan' tracks the factional power struggles within the Chola empire, with the enemies of the state acting as catalysts. The story is set in the tumultuous period before Arunmozhi Varman, later known as Raja Raja Chozhan became one of the greatest emperors in Indian history ushering in a Golden Age." (sic).
