The actor shares, "I have told Rajamouli sir that we have finished two parts of Ponniyin Selvan in 150 days. Then Rajamouli sir got up from the chair and said don't say me this and scare me. I took 5 years to finish two parts. So that's the respect he have towards Mani sir. And he couldn't believe that at first before. And then later, he asked how you worked and all, to learn from the master."

This magnum opus is based on Kalki Krishnamurthy's 1955 novel of the same name, and from the trailer, it seems like the book has been adapted on the silver screens with keen precision. This highly-awaited project will reach the audience on the 30th of September this year and will see Chiyaan Vikram, Karthi, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Trisha Krishnan, and Jayaram Ravi in main roles, along with Sarathkumar, Prabhu, Lal, Kishore, Ashwin Kakumanu, and Aishwarya Lekshmi in secondary roles.
