Ponnyin Selvan: Mani Ratnam And Vikram Served Court Notice For Inaccurate Detail

As the trailer for 'Ponniyin Selvan' became popular among moviegoers, the filmmakers found themselves in hot water. Lawyer Selvam has submitted a court summons against actor Vikram and filmmaker Mani Ratnam, claiming that it distorts the history of the Cholas in 'Ponniyin Selvan.' The Cholas do not have Naamam (a customary vertical mark on the forehead). However, Vikram, who plays Adithya Karikalan in 'Ponniyin Selvan,' was shown with a mark on his forehead in the film's trailer. The lawyer has requested a special screening of 'Ponniyin Selvan prior to its theatrical distribution to see whether historical facts are inaccurate in the film's first half.

'Ponniyin Selvan,' directed by Mani Ratnam, is divided into two parts, the first of which will release on September 30th. Preparations for the release have begun, and the filmmakers have been participating in frequent advertising to raise anticipation for the film. The film stars an ensemble cast of Vikram, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Jayam Ravi, Karthi, Trisha, Aishwarya Lekshmi, Sobhita Dhulipala, Prabhu, R. Sarathkumar, Vikram Prabhu, Jayaram, Prakash Raj, Rahman, and R. Parthiban. 'Ponniyin Selvan' will release in five languages, and Vikram has dubbed his role in five of them. The creators recently created a film describing the history of Cholas, and the brief video piques people's interest.
