The trailer is backed by a haunting background score by Yuvan Shankar Raja, who has composed the music for the film.

The first look poster of the film, which was unveiled in June showed Jayam Ravi in a rugged avatar with Nayanthara.

The duo has delivered several hits in the past, such as ‘Jayam’, ‘M Kumaran S/O Mahalakshmi’, ‘Santhosh Subramaniam’, and ‘Thillalangadi’.

Jayam Ravi also has Genie, JR 30, and Siren in his kitty, as he was last seen in Maniratnam's Ponniyin Selvan 2.

The film went on floors today in Chennai with a grand pooja ceremony that was attended by the cast and crew of the film.

Nayanthara on other hand, busy with her Bollywood debut Jawan with Atlee, Nayanthara 75 with actor Jai, The Test with Madhavan, and presumably to join her husband and director Vignesh Shivan's next. 

The actor has a busy schedule ahead of him, with films like ‘Siren’, ‘Iraivan’, ‘Jana Gana Mana’ and ‘Genie’ in various stages of production. 

Ponniyin Selvan 2 is the second part of the epic historical drama based on the novel by Kalki Krishnamurthy.
