The 2022 movie's sequel, Ponniyin Selvan 2, was directed by Mani Ratnam. On April 28, the historical drama debuted in theatres.

Trisha is recognized as Kundavai. The high-profile movie was released internationally in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, and Malayalam.
The name of the movie franchise is derived from Arulmozhi Varman's other name, Ponniyin Selvan, which translates to "Son of Cauvery". It was a nickname he earned as a child after it was claimed that the great river Cauvery saved him from drowning. Ratnam's Madras Talkies and A Subaskaran's Lyca Productions collaborated to produce the movie.
