About Ponniyin Selvan: I Movie
- Ponniyin Selvan: I (PS-1) is the first of two cinematic parts based on Kalki Krishnamurthy’s 1955 novel, Ponniyin Selvan.
- Ever since its publication, a film adaptation of the novel Ponniyin Selvan had been explored by several Tamil filmmakers, including an attempt by M. G. Ramachandran in the late 1950s; however, it never materialised due to financial constraints.
- Decades later, Ratnam attempted to adapt the novel in the late-1980s and early-2010s but was unsuccessful. Calling it his “dream project”, Ratnam revived the effort in January 2019, after Lyca agreed to fund the film.
- Following several changes in cast and crew, production of Ponniyin Selvan began in December 2019 and concluded in September 2021, halting twice due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
- The film was shot in various locations across India, with a few sequences in Thailand. It was originally intended to be a single film but was split into two parts.
- The story thread of Ponniyin Selvan spans years and more than 50 characters, with 15 principal roles.
- Trisha trained in horseriding at the Madras School of Equitation for this film, where she was enrolled for a special course on 26 October 2020, and completed within 14 November 2020.
- Ponniyin Selvan was originally planned as a single film with a budget of ₹500 crore. Later, it was split into two parts that were to be shot back-to-back, with some sources reporting that a budget of ₹500 crore is spread across two parts.
- It was reported that, Karthi faced an accident while he was shooting in Hyderabad, where he was thrown up in the air, while riding a horse, however, he faced only minor injuries.
- In September 2021, the Animal Welfare Board of India (AWBI) filed a lawsuit against Mani Ratnam in connection with the death of a horse allegedly during the film’s shooting in Hyderabad in August 2021.
- The film’s narration was voiced by Kamal Haasan (both trailer and film), Anil Kapoor (trailer)/Ajay Devgn (film), Rana Daggubati (trailer)/Chiranjeevi (film), Prithviraj Sukumaran (trailer)/Mammootty (film) and Jayanth Kaikini (trailer)/Upendra (film) in the Tamil, Hindi, Telugu, Malayalam, and Kannada languages respectively.
- On 17 September 2022, Ratnam in a press meet, confirmed that Ponniyin Selvan: II (PS:2) would be released in six to nine months after the theatrical release of Ponniyin Selvan: I. On 28 December 2022, it was revealed by the unit that PS:2 would be releasing on 28 April 2023.
