After a long time, Mani Ratnam is coming up with the movie Ponniyin Selvan on the life and times of Cholas. But the music given by Rahman is not catchy and it is not fresh.
Sometimes it looks as if Rahman is crying. Rahman has not been giving any hits these days.
Mani Ratnam could not get the actors he wanted in real for the movie. The superstars Mahesh Babu, Vijay, Suriya, Vijay Sethupathu Simbu, Amala Paul, Keerthy Suresh, Arya, and Anushka Shetty were approached for Ponniyin Selvan at different times, but none of them could become part of this movie due to various reasons.
Earlier Marakkar was also talked about, but it failed at the box office. Now we have to see how far the Telugu people will like Ponniyin Selvan.
It is made in two parts. Mani Ratnam is confident of getting the money back. The OTT will definitely come to the rescue of the movie if it does not make good money at the box office.
