Trisha as Kundavai: The fierce and courageous woman from Mani Ratnam's Ponniyin Selvan is here

One of the most-expected character posters from Ponniyin Selvan was Trisha's; the team has now unveiled her look from the magnum opus. She plays the gorgeous Kundavai; her character in the poster has been described as "In a world of men, a woman of courage".

Though Kundavai is seen adorned with jewels, hers is a fierce and bold character, and one of the crucial roles in the novel of the same name written by Kalki Krishnamurthy. Ponniyin Selvan marks Trisha's second collaboration with Mani Ratnam after Aayutha Ezhuthu which was released in 2004.

Among the major stars in the movie, what is left to be unveiled is the character poster of Jayam Ravi which is expected to release tomorrow. The makers are also launching the film's teaser tomorrow at Chennai in different languages. Apart from Tamil, the big budget movie is releasing in Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam and Hindi.

The posters of Vikram, Karthi and Aishwarya Ravi were released by the team on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday respectively. Sarath Kumar, Prakash Raj, Parthiban, Jayaram, Vikram Prabhu, Mohan Raman, Sobhita Dhulipala and Aishwarya Lekshmi are others who play prominent characters in the movie.

AR Rahman has composed music for the film which has cinematography by Ravi Varman. Lyca Productions and Madras Talkies have jointly bankrolled the project which has editing by Sreekar Prasad and production design by Thota Tharani. The first part of Ponniyin Selvan is slated for a huge release on September 30. An announcement on the second instalment's release is yet to be made.

Movie lovers hope that the mammoth project becomes the much-expected comeback of Mani Ratnam. Chekka Chivantha Vaanam, starring Vijay Sethupathi, Arun Vijay, Silambarasan and Arvind Swami which was released in 2018, was his last outing.
