It’s a wrap for Mani Ratnam’s period drama Ponniyin Selvan. Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, who headlines the film, took to social media to share the news of the film’s shoot completion after the makers announced it. They shared a new poster of Ponniyin Selvan with the release date. Based on the Tamil literary novel of the same name, Ponniyin Selvan will be made in two parts.
