Ponniyin Selvan Live 3.52

Ponniyan Selvan is a historical novel that was written by Kalki Krishnamurthy and was published in 1950.

Kalki's sources of information were the stone inscriptions, books and copper plates. Interestingly the names of the Conspirators (Ravidasan, Soman and Nandini) came from a stone inscription.

There have been several attempts to adapt Ponniyan Selvan to Silver screen, beginning with an attempt in 1958(8 years after it was first published) but it had to be shelved due to various reasons.

The story is primarily woven around the live of Arulmozhivarman before his coronation,when he later assumes the title as Raja Raja Chola.

The story revolves around Vandiyathevan, a charming, brave and a brilliant young man who sets out to the Chola land to deliver a message to the King and the Princess from the Crown Prince Aditya Karikalan.

The story shuttles between Vandiyathevan's travels in Chola country and the young Prince Arulmozhivarman's travels in Sri Lanka. The narrative deals with attempts by his sister Kundavai to bring back Arulmozhi (as Raja Raja was called before his crowning) to establish political peace in a land seemingly getting besot with unrest and signs of civil war, plotted by vassals and petty chieftains.
