Unknown to the general public, Mani Ratnam's passion project, which is Ponniyin Selvan, is a film adaptation of Kalki Krishnamurthy's 1954 novel of the same name. The seasoned director spent more than 35 years to begin production because it was repeatedly postponed owing to technical and budgetary issues. Prior to Mani Ratnam, MG Ramachandran, a renowned Tamil actor and former chief minister of Tamil Nadu, had plans to both direct and appear in the film Ponniyin Selvan. But because of his health, he had to abandon the endeavor.
