The film is based on the classic Tamil novel, Ponniyin Selvan. The book is authored by Kalki Krishnamurthy and it recounts the story of Raja Raja Chola. Literally, Ponniyin Selvan means ‘the son of Ronni’.

Raja Raja Chola is known for building a temple that is world-famous even now, the Brihadeeswarar Temple, well-known as Periya Kovil.
Helmed by Mani Ratnam, Ponniyin Selvan is bankrolled by Allirajah Subaskaran under the banner of Lyca Productions. The film is set to release on September 30 in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam and Kannada.
