It is the ‘Roja’ director’s dream project. After trying to give a visual form for this popular novel for the past three decades, Mani Ratnam finally managed to make it. The first part of ‘Ponniyin Selvan’ is released on September 30th September.
The movie opened to mixed reviews all over the country barring Tamil Nadu. The Tamilians embraced the movie with open arms due to their emotional attachment to their history.
