Recently, the makers released a brand-new royal poster featuring a sword against a shield which has a fierce tiger’s face roaring on it. Apart from that, the makers have confirmed that the first part of this magnum opus is all set to release in 2022.
The shooting of the film, which is going on in full swing, is being held in multiple schedules across many cities. Suhasini Maniratnam who seems to be accompanying the ace director on his busy schedule, took to Instagram to share a few BTS pictures from the sets of the historical drama.
The picture has a few technicians wearing blue suits while holding the camera. She wrote, "They are not Spider-M’en or super men but camera technicians. Dressed in blue suits as camouflage." One can see heavy action sequences being filmed in the backdrop of the vast area. A few people we are also seen on top of horses in distance. She also shared an monochrome image of Mani Ratnam from the sets.
Take a look:
