How the whole revenge saga unfolds and conflicts for the throne come to an end, is what Mani Ratnam's movies are expected to showcase. Īctor Kishore plays Ravidasan, the other main antagonist of Ponniyin Selvan. He constantly warns Periya Pazhuvettarayar on Nandini's intentions to no avail. Parthiepan plays Chinna Pazhuvettarayar, who is the chancellor's younger brother and father-in-law to Madhurantaka. He also becomes a good friend of Vanthiyathevan. Other characters shown in the video include Vaanathi ( Shobitha Dhulipala), who is Ponniyin Selvan's love interest and is the niece of the Chola chieftain Vellar Boothi Vikramkesari ( Prabhu) and Azhwarkadiyan Nambi ( Jayaram), who is Nandini's foster brother and a highly loyal Chola spy. Two men who don't fall prey to this villainess' schemes are Vanthiyathevan ( Karthi) who is Aditha Karikalan's trusted aide and Kundavai's love interest, and a grown up Ponniyin Selvan who never comes face to face with a wrath-filled Nandini.
#VEERA CHARACTER NAME MOVIE#
Ī ll hell breaks loose when Aditha Karikalan beheads Veera Pandiyan in a Cholas VS Pandyas clash and Nandini, with the intention of infiltrating the Cholas, marries the empire's chancellor and a much senior Periya Pazhuvettarayar (played by Sarathkumar).Īs the PS1 trailer reveals, this is when heights of internal conflicts, wars and fight for the throne begins and the movie is expected to show how Nandini tries to bring an entire empire down, with only her beauty as weapon.
Nandini grows up with a disdain for Sundara Chola's family and ends up with Veera Pandiyan, whose son calls her mother. Madurantaka grows up as Uttama Chola while Nandini grows in a priest family with close proximity to Sundara Chola's royal children - Aditha Karikalan (Vikram), Kundavai ( Trisha) and a very young Ponniyin Selvan ( Jayam Ravi).Īditha Karikalan's love interest towards Nandini is discouraged due to the paternity confusion and Kundavai's ego clashes with Nandini. One of these two is also the actual father of Nandini and Madurantaka. When Sundara Chola refuses to marry Mandakini, she attempts to take her own life but is rescued by a character named Karuthiruman, aide of a Pandya King named Veera Pandian (played by Nasser). Madurantaka is switched at birth and while he may or may not be Sundara Chola's son, he is raised as Sundara Chola's cousin. However, he does not marry her due to the clash of clans (Cholas Vs Pandyas) and mystery shrouds over the paternity of her twin children - Nandini, played by Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Madurantaka, played by actor Rahman.
Sundara Chola played by actor Prakash Raj in PS1, is a Chola King who takes a liking towards a deaf and mute Pandya princess named Mandakini. Story, Characters - Background & Actors Playing Them While the characters are a mix of real and fiction, the story was penned as a fiction by Kalki Krishnamurthy in the 1950s His five-volume books went on to become one of the most famous scripts in Tamil literature. Rajaraja Chola I aka Arunmozhi Varman aka Ponniyin Selvan (meaning son of Ponni) became a revered name among the Kings of this era and the story of Ponniyin Selvan is based on his early years and family. Since the movie is also coming out in Telugu, Malayalam, Kannada and Hindi languages, we decided to revisit the Ponniyin Selvan storyline and give a bit more detailed idea of what viewers got to see in the PS1 teaser and trailer.Īs the videos reveal, PS1 is set in the Chola era which is a real life royal dynasty that existed in what is today known as South India and Sri Lanka.
Directed by Mani Ratnam, PS1 is first of the two-part movie releasing on Septemin theaters.
The story of Ponniyin Selvan may not be new to the Tamil cine audience but PS1 is indeed the first movie the demographic is getting, based on the famous Tamil novel.
