In Ponniyin Selvan I, Mani Ratnam reveals that Ajay Devgn is the narrator.

Ajay Devgn will also appear in Mani Ratnam’s forthcoming, ambitious film Ponniyin Selvan: I, the director has disclosed. Vikram and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan both appear in the movie. Key parts are also played by Aishwarya Lekshmi, Jayaram, Jayaram Ravi, Prakash Raj, Trisha Krishnan, and Karthi.

In the recently released trailer, Anil Kapoor’s voice could be heard. Certain sections of the Hindi trailer were narrated by Anil. The director told PTI Bhasha, “I have two more people from the Hindi cinema business to thank: one is Anil Kapoor, whose voice featured on the trailer, and another is Ajay Devgn, whose voice will be on the main film.

He was also reported in an Indian Express article as saying that he had attempted to make the movie three decades before. This is the movie that M. G. Ramachandran envisioned. And I had the idea to make it after Kamal Haasan and I starred in Nayakan in 1987. We both desired to make this movie. We hadn’t begun casting at that point. Kamal was the only protagonist we had while we worked on the writing. It didn’t appear because it was too large. We were unable to fit the entire narrative into one movie. Additionally, we couldn’t afford it.

Ponniyin Selvan: I is a translation of the same-titled 1955 Tamil novel by author Kalki Krishnamurthy. The movie follows the life of Arulmozhivarman, a strong monarch who later rose to become Rajaraja Chola I, the great Chola ruler.

Mani Ratnam has claimed that he read the book in class 10 and was enthralled by the characters and setting. He claimed it was the first significant Tamil adventure he had ever read, and he was enthralled by the vivid style in which it was written. He claimed, “I could visualise while reading it.”

Family Star review

The Hindustan Times’ review of the movie Family Star, starring Vijay Deverakonda and directed by Parasuram Petla, suggests that the film struggles to make a mark or entertain, with issues reminiscent of Geetha Govindam (2018). The film tests patience and fails to maintain interest as it progresses.

The review criticizes the plot of Family Star, stating that it is thin and defies logic, making it difficult to enjoy. It also suggests that the film’s portrayal of middle-class life is caricaturish, as if it was written by someone unfamiliar with the realities of such a life.
