Yaathisai makers drop character posters; making video of the period drama turns heads

Even as the Chola team of Ponniyin Selvan 2 has been involved in the promotions of the film aggressively, yet another period film that's quietly turning many heads is Dharani Rasendran's Yaathisai. The film, which is a periodical fiction, is based on the Pandiyan prince Ranadheeran who ruled in the 7th century, when the Chola dynasty had lost its power and its people were forced to live in the woods. The film, directed by Dharani Rasendran has become the talk of the town ever since the makers dropped its trailer.
