Mahesh And Vijay Did Roles In PS1 First
The tweets from mahesh babu from 2011 that stated, "My dream is coming true finally..I shall be working in a mani rathnam film," could now be related to by followers. It is well known that mani ratnam attempted to make ponniyin selvan twice, once in 1994 and again in 2011. It was one of my most happy days ever. Both times, the project did not go according to schedule. rekha was Mani Ratnam's first pick for the role of Nandhini, but now aishwarya Rai fills it.
Back then, there were speculations that mahesh babu and Vijay were producing a multi-star tamil film, but they suddenly disappeared. We would have seen ponniyin selvan with mahesh babu and Vijay in the same movie in 2011 had that attempt been successful. The kalki Krishnamurthy historical fiction novel was adapted into the film Ponniyin Selvan.
