Soundarya Rajinikanth To Produce Web-Series Based On Historical Saga Ponniyin Selvan

Soundarya Rajinikanth has recently announced her upcoming project, which is claimed to be a production of a web series based on the five-volume novel named Ponniyin Selvan written by Kalki Krishnamurthy. The story narrates the story of Arulmozhivarman, who later became the Chola king Rajaraja Chola I after multiple ups and downs.

The former is known as Cholas' house sigil, while the latter belongs to the Pandias dynasty. The title tease appears to be surrounded by an impressive circle including different images,  depicts these with a sword in between, possibly signifying war.

Soundarya Rajinikanth lately received an interview from the press, in which she shared some thoughts about this promising scheme.

According to Soundarya, not only does the novel vividly depict various aspects of the Chola dynasty, one of the longest ruling dynasties in Indian history, but it also possesses an intriguing plot, romance, adventure, satire and an enduring battle for the throne. Such a fantastic piece of art to read that she's eager to realise this vision.
