Twitter Reacts To ‘Ponniyin Selvan–I’ Teaser, Tweeple Draw Parallels Between Aishwarya Rai Bachchan’s Character In ‘Jodha Akbar’
Period dramas are really something, aren’t they? Just a few days ago we came across Aishwarya Rai Bachchan’s poster for the upcoming period action drama, Ponniyin Selvan Part 1 AKA PS-1 directed and co-produced by Mani Ratnam under the banner of Madras Talkies along with Allirajah Subaskaran under the banner Lyca Productions. The teaser of the film, which is a cinematic adaption of Kalki Krishnamurthy’s 1955 Tamil-language novel Ponniyin Selvan, was unveiled earlier today in a digital manner by actors Amitabh Bachchan, Mahesh Babu, Suriya, Mohanlal and Rakshit Shetty. Written by Elango Kumaravel and B. Jeyamohan, the film stars an ensemble cast of Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Karthi, Jayam Ravi, Vikram, Trisha, Sobhita Dhulipala, Jayaram, Aishwarya Lekshmi, Ashwin Kakumanu and Vikram Prabhu. It also stars Prakash Raj, Rahman, R. Sarathkumar, R. Parthiban and Prabhu in supporting roles.
The teaser of Ponniyin Selvan Part 1 AKA PS-1 showcases the power struggle of the Chola empire during the 10th century and is scheduled to hit the screen in two instalments. The film is set to release in the theatres on September 30 in Tamil, Hindi, Telugu, Kannada, and Malayalam. Soon after the release of the powerful trailer, Twitter was flooded with reactions from the netizens.
Looking at Aish, several users couldn’t help but draw parallels between her look from Jodha Akbar and Ponniyin Selvan.

FYI, Ponniyin Selvan-I is one of the most expensive Indian films with a budget of 500 crores. This adaptation of the novel was earlier planned by several actors and directors including M.G. Ramachandran in the late 1950s but nothing panned out. Even Mani Ratnam tried to adapt the novel in the mid-1990s and then in the early 2010s but remained unsuccessful. But the filmmaker managed to revive his “dream project” in January 2019 in collaboration with Lyca Productions. The film went on floors in December 2019 and was completed in September 2021. The film was shot in several places across India and Thailand.
