The
most
anticipated

Ponniyin
Selvan
first
single
is
finally
out.
The
Ponni
Nadhi
song,
which
introduces
the
audiences
to
the
world
of
Cholas,
has
already
created
quite
a
stir
on
social
media.
The

Ponniyin
Selvan
first
single
,
which
is
composed
by
celebrated
musician
AR
Rahman,
has
brought
back
ancient
Tamil
music
in
all
its
glory
and
raised
the
expectations
over
Mani
Ratnam’s
dream
project.

Ponni
Nadhi
song
narrates
the
journey
of
Vallavaraiyan
Vanthiyathevan,
the
character
played
by
Karthi,
through
the
bangs
of
the
Ponni
river
(the
present
Kaveri).
The
unique
number
is
penned
by
Elangi
Krishnan,
and
sung
by
AR
Rahman
himself.
The
biggest
highlight
of
the

Ponni
Nadhi
song
is
the
ancient
Tamil
instruments
that
are
included
in
its
orchestra.

Karthi,
who
plays
Vallavaraiyan
Vanthiyathevan
looks
a
million
bucks
in
the
Ponni
Nadhi
lyrical
video,
that
has
been
going
viral.
The
Tamil
audiences,
who
are
well-versed
with
Kalki’s
Ponniyin
Selvan
novel
feel
that
the
talented
actor
is
simply
the
perfect
choice
to
play
the
role.
The
actor’s
dance
portions
and
his
shot
with
Vanthiyathevan’s
horse
Semban
are
a
treat
to
watch.

AR
Rahman,
the
composer
who
is
currently
busy
with
his
American
tour,
is
performing
the
Ponni
Nadhi
song
live
in
Houston,
Texas,
tonight.
Thus,
the
makers
are
officially
beginning
the
international
promotions
of
Ponniyin
Selvan,
which
is
being
made
as
the
biggest
project
in
Mani
Ratnam’s
career
with
both
its
budget
and
scale.
A
massive
audio
launch
event
is
expected
to
be
held
once
AR
Rahman
returns
to
Chennai.

To
the
uninitiated,

Ponniyin
Selvan

political
atmosphere

the
Chola
dynasty,
before
