Ponniyin Selvan had gone on floors in December 2019 in Thailand where the first schedule was filmed for over 90 days. Karthi, Jayam Ravi and Aishwarya Lekshmi took part in the first schedule. The rest of the schedules were put on halt due to the coronavirus pandemic.
The music of Ponniyin Selvan has been composed by AR Rahman while Ravi Varman has been roped in for cinematography. The film is being jointly produced by Mani Ratnam and Lyca Productions. Siva Ananth is the film’s executive producer.
