Mani
Ratnam's
magnum
opus
Ponniyin
Selvan
is
all
over
the
news!
Apparently,
a
list
revealing
Ponniyin
Selvan's
complete
cast
and
character
details
has
been
leaked
online.
The
list
consists
names
of
21
actors
including
Aishwarya
Rai
Bachchan,
Vikram,
Jayam
Ravi,
Trisha,
Karthi,
Aishwarya
Lekshmi,
Prakash
Raj,
Jayaram
and
many
others.
Remarks
including
replacements
and
antagonists
have
also
been
included
in
the
list.
It
also
claims
that
Aishwarya
Rai
is
playing
the
lead
antagonist
in
the
period
drama,
which
has
indeed
surprised
and
even
excited
many.
Aishwarya
will
be
playing
the
role
of
Nandini
in
Ponniyin
Selvan.
Along
with
her,
actors
Riyaz
Khan
and
Kishore
will
be
playing
villains
in
the
highly
anticipated
film.
The
duo
will
play
Soman
Sambavan
and
Ravidhasan
respectively.
On
the
other
hand,
Ananda
Vikatan,
one
of
the
leading
Tamil
magazines
has
dropped
characters
sketches
of
Ponniyin
Selvan
actors
from
the
film
and
it
indeed
has
taken
the
internet
by
storm.
As
per
the
leaked
list
and
character
sketches
dropped
on
the
magazine's
Twitter
handle,
Karthi,
Vikram
and
Jayam
Ravi
will
appear
as
Vandhiyathevan,
Aditya
Karikalan
and
Arulmozhi
Varman
respectively.
Though
there
were
speculations
about
Keerthy
Suresh's
inclusion
in
Mani
Ratnam's
magnum
opus,
the
list
evidently
suggests
that
she
is
not
a
part
of
the
film.
The
film
recently
grabbed
headlines
after
its
cast
members
resumed
shooting
post
lockdown

According
to
reports,
the
team
is
currently
shooting
in
Hyderabad's
Ramoji

began
shortly
after
the

wrapped
up
the
film's
shooting
in
Pondicherry.
Based
on
Kalki
Krishnamurthy's
Tamil
literary
novel
Ponniyin
Selvan,
the
period
drama

Jointly
