MUMBAI: Ponniyin Selvan is a much-awaited film.
The film is directed by Mani Ratnam and stars Chiyaan Vikram and Aishwarya Rai.
It seems the upcoming film is hitting some roadblocks. It was earlier being said the Ponniyin Selvan teaser was slated to be launched at Thanjavur Brihadeeswarar Temple on 7th July. However, it now seems that plan will go for a toss, going by the latest reports. It looks like Ponniyin Selvan has hit choppy waters and this latest Ponniyin Selvan update is likely to leave a lot of fans of the actors and exalted Director, not to mention all Tamil cinema lovers eagerly looking forward to the first part of the epic movie, quite disappointed.

Going by a report in Indiaglitz, the teaser of the film is most likely to be postponed. Yes, you read that right. Apparently, the teaser will now not meet its intended 7th July release date. As per the same report, the planned launch at Thanjavur Brihadeeswarar Temple has also been cancelled. Instead, a teaser announcement promo video is expected to be dropped around that time, with the teaser itself supposed to be pushed back to end July. As for the reason, well, pending VFX is being cited as the prime culprit, which is understandable given the film's subject, theme and magnitude.
Earlier, word had come in that filmmaker Mani Ratnam is planning to release both parts of his magnum opus, Ponniyin Selvan, within a short span of time. In fact, the speculation doing the rounds was that the Director is eyeing a release date with a span of just a couple of months a la Anurag Kashyap's Gangs of Wasseypur for his ambitious project.
So talking about Ponniyin Selvan part 1, reports claim that a year-end release is on the cards.
