Ponniyin Selvan - An MX Original Series

MX Player has collaborated with Soundarya Rajinikanth’s May 6 entertainment to produce – Ponniyin Selvan, which will be an MX Original Series.

According to the press release MX players has over 70 million daily active users and a streaming library of over 1,00,000 hours of intriguing content which is one of the best in the world.

Karan Bedi, CEO of MX Player said, “This tie-up is in line with MX Player’s philosophy of promising the best in original content, not only in Hindi but also in other regional languages like Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Bhojpuri and Punjabi. We are proud to partner with Soundarya as she makes her foray into the digital world with Ponniyin Selvan; her vision to make differentiated and larger than life projects is extraordinary and we look forward to a fruitful partnership. More so, this is a genre that hasn’t been very widely explored on the web and I am delighted to bring the digital first viewer this magnum opus that is sure to leave you enthralled.”

Ponniyin Selvan is an adaptation of writer Kalki Krishnamurthy’s epic historic novel of the same name. The story is about Arulmozhivarman, one of the kings of the Chola dynasty who reigned in the 10th and 11th centuries. Soundarya Rajinikanth has produced the Tamil film Goa, and has directed India’s first motion capture film Kochadaiyaan starring Rajinikanth and VIP-2, starring Dhanush. The series will be directed by Sooriyaprathap S, a historical scholar who has worked with directors K.S. Ravikumar and Soundarya in the past.

Speaking about this development, Soundarya said, “Ponniyin Selvan is indeed one of the greatest historical novels written in Tamil and considered by many as the crown jewel of Tamil Literature. The novel chronicles the power struggle and the socio-political landscape of the Chola Dynasty, one of the longest ruling dynasties in Indian history and is a perfect amalgamation of an intriguing plot, romance, adventure, satire and an enduring battle for the throne. From the day I read this amazing novel, I was determined to narrate this impeccable story in the visual medium and have explored every single avenue that offered the possibility to realize this vision. Today, I am extremely happy to partner with MX player in producing this grand spectacle, and with Soori directing the series, I am sure that the viewers will stay glued to this period drama. This show is being mounted on a large canvas, and we will ensure to our best ability that there is stone unturned to bring alive this marvelous novel”.
