Mani Ratnam and Vikram receive court notice
Days after the teaser release, Ponniyin Selvan has landed in fresh trouble. Mani Ratnam and Vikram received a court notice from a lawyer named Selvam.
In his petition, he pointed out that Aditya Karikalan (played by Vikram) doesn’t have tilak on his forehead.
But, the poster of Vikram from Ponniyin Selvan shows a tilak. Selvam feels that the Cholas could be misrepresented in the film.
Hence, he demanded a special screening of the film ahead of its release to analyse if the makers had distorted historical facts in the film.
Neither Mani Ratnam nor Vikram has responded to the notice as of now.
Ponniyin Selvan will release in two parts. The first part is gearing up for a grand release in September. The star-studded cast includes Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Chiyaan Vikram, Karthi, Trisha and Jayam Ravi in lead roles. Sarathkumar, Prabhu, Prakash Raj, Lal, Kishore, Ashwin Kakumanu, Sobhita Dhulipala and Aishwarya Lekshmi will be seen in important roles. Composer AR Rahman scored the tunes.
