After the success of the stellar ensemble drama, 'Chekka Chivandha Vaanam' ace director Mani Ratnam is currently on the humungous process of making the on-screen adaptation of the classic Tamil novella 'Ponniyin Selvan' written by Kalki Krishnamurthy.
This upcoming project is produced by Lyca Productions and Madras Talkies, the film has a star cast that includes Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Chiyaan Vikram, Jayam Ravi, Karthi, Trisha, Sarathkumar, Ashwin Kakumanu, Lal, Riyaz Khan and Arjun Chidambaram amongst others in prominent roles.
As we had reported earlier, the first schedule of the movie started to shoot on the 12th of December in Bangkok, Thailand. Recently, a picture of the Ponniyin Selvan stars Karthi, Jayam Ravi, and Ashwin Kakumanu inside a gym has been making heavy rounds on the internet.
The over-grown hair and beard look of the stars do suggest that the picture might be taken recently, during the sweat-out session of the grandeur project. Stay tuned!
