After Chiyaan Vikram, it's time for actor Karthi's poster release from Mani Ratnam's world of 'Ponniyin Selvan'!

Mani Ratnam's world of 'Ponniyin Selvan' has been showing up its characters ahead of the movie release, which would be a spectacular event for the Tamil cinema industry. The movie has now been revealing the characters and posters of the ensemble cast and a day after unveiling the character poster of actor Chiyaan Vikram, actor Karthi's poster has been released on Tuesday - July 5. 

Karthi will be playing the role of 'Vanthiyathevan' in Mani Ratnam's magnum opus 'Ponniyin Selvan'. On Tuesday, Lyca Productions, which bankrolls the movie, took to Twitter and released actor Karthi's poster for the movie. The production company wrote, "The Prince without a kingdom, the spy, the swashbuckling adventurer...here comes Vanthiyathevan."

Actor Karthi wrote, "With all your blessings bringing to you Vanthiyathevan and Semban (the horse)." The movie has been split into two as the first part has been named PS-1 (Ponniyin Selvan - 1) and the first part has been slated for theatrical release on September 30, 2022. Karthi's poster has been going viral as the fans are rampantly spreading it even as they express their eagerness to relish what has been a dream project of Kollywood.

On Monday - July 4, the movie team has unveiled the character poster of actor Vikram, who will be playing the role of 'Aditya Karikalan'. One of the fierce characters in the original novel, Aditya Karikalan is the elder brother of Raja Raja Cholan aka Arul Mozhi Varman, played by Jayam Ravi. Vikram is seen sporting a brave and victorious look, majestically sitting on a horse on the battlefield, as storming arrows behind the actor.

Taking to Twitter, Lyca Productions, which bankrolls the movie, has released the poster of Vikram and wrote, "Welcome the Chola Crown Prince! The Fierce Warrior. The Wild Tiger. Aditya Karikalan." This poster has taken social media into a storm as several fans have shared it rampantly. On Saturday - July 2, the movie team has unveiled a new motion poster along with making an announcement of the movie's pan-India release. The short and gripping motion poster, which runs for ten seconds, has turned heads. 

Ponniyin Selvan is based on the novel written by Kalki Krishnamurthy under the same name and the fans are just two months ahead to relish this humongous project that took years to materialize. As the motion poster has been released, it has been reported that the teaser of the movie would get released by this month. The epic historical story has roped in legends and the movie will be getting released in five languages - Tamil, Hindi, Telugu, Kannada, and Malayalam. 

While Mani Ratnam has helmed the project, Vikram, Jayam Ravi, Karthi, Aishwarya Rai, Trisha, Jayaram, Aishwarya Lekshmi, Vikram Prabhu, Ashwin, Sarathkumar, Parthiban, Prabhu, Prakash Raj, Rahman, Nizhalgal Ravi, Vijayakumar, Nassar, and Balaji Sakthivel will play important roles. Interestingly, AR Rahman composed the music while Kabilan and Venba Geethayan penned the lyrics for the songs and Jayamohan has written the dialogues. The shooting of the film has been completed and the final stages are underway after several changes.
