The
prince
of
the
Vaanar
Clan,
Vandhiyathevan,
is
followed
on
his
journey
in
Ponniyin
Selvan
1.
He
is
a
soldier
in
the
Crown
Prince's
army
and
he
has
lost
his
ancestral
reign
generations
ago.
Karthi,
who
portrays
Vandhiyathevan,
is
a
perfect
fit
for
the
flirtatious,
humorous,
and
tenacious
role
he
is
playing.
Vikram
portrays
Crown
Prince
Aditha
Karikalan,
an
eccentric
and
wounded
warrior
who
is
attempting
to
move
past
a
heartbreak.
Some
of
the
story's
main
protagonists
are
the
royal
siblings
of
the
Chola
kingdom
in
the
tenth
century.
The
oldest,
Karikalan,
has
a
brother,
Arulmozhi,
and
a
sister,
Kundhavai.
As
political
and
shrewd
as
they
come,
Kundhavai
controls
everything
that
occurs
in
the
realm.
In
his
latter
years,
Arulmozhi
goes
on
to
become
the
fabled
Raja
Raja
Chola.
Nandhini
is
another
important
figure
in
the
narrative.
Next
to
the
monarch
and
the
princes,
she
is
the
spouse
of
the
most
powerful
political
figure
in
the
realm.
People
frequently
make
fun
of
their
marriage
due
to
the
age
difference.
She
frequently
is
at
odds
with
the
princess,
and
keeps
us
guessing
about
her
true
agenda.
The
rivalry
between
the
two
women
is
what
drives
the
plot
forward.
