In the film, Jayam essays the role of the great king Rajaraja Chola I. Aishwarya plays dual roles–Queen Nandini, the princess of Pazhuvoor, who is on a mission to seek vengeance, and Mandakini Devi. Trisha is seen as Kundavai. The big-budget film released in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, and Malayalam worldwide.

The film series draws its title from Arulmozhi Varman’s alternate name: Ponniyin Selvan meaning ‘Son of Cauvery’, an epithet he received in childhood after he was said to be saved by the mighty river Cauvery from drowning. The film is jointly produced by Ratnam’s Madras Talkies and A Subaskaran’s Lyca Productions.
