The audio and trailer launch of Ponni’s Selvan was held in Chennai on the 6th. Superstar Rajini, World Hero Kamal and Director Shankar were special guests in the event. Speaking at that time, Rajinikanth had said, “I wanted to act in Ponni’s Selvan, which is currently being produced under the direction of Mani Ratnam. I had asked Mani to play the role of a big villain. I asked him to tell me that Rajini is playing a special appearance. But he refused.”

Rajini’s open talk in Ponni’s Selvan audio release became a trend. In this case, director Mani Ratnam opened up about this in a press conference held yesterday. In it, Mani Ratnam said, “If Rajinikanth had asked for the role, he would have to change the story. It would not be right, that’s why he was not cast.” Following this, the question of fans as to why Rajini did not act in Ponni’s Selvan has been answered.

Speaking further, director Mani Ratnam said, “All the actors asked me to sing for Ponni’s Selvan shoot. I also asked them to sing. Jayamohan has delivered the dialogues well. I was afraid that the actors will get fat during the Corona era.” He also gave a surprise update that the second part of Ponni’s Selvan will release within the next 6 to 9 months.
