Ponni Nadhi and Chola Chola had been released as singles before the audio launch event. We have been listening to the two songs for weeks now.

The song is said to be for a play based on the Kamsan-Krishnan story, inside the main plot. The song should be from a sequence where a play is staged. 'Sol" has been sung by Rakshita Suresh, and written by Krithika Nelson. The book has a couple of verses for this song, starting with the word 'Alaikadal.' The rest of the lyrics, however, differ, but that does not change how soulful the song is to the ears. The much-awaited event was delayed a bit and the trailer which was supposed to drop by 9 pm, came by much later. She has this song that she sings when she is rowing all alone.

If Jayaram had the crowd in splits with his mimicry of how Mani Ratnam would be on set, Karthi, Vikram and Jayam Ravi narrated why it was important that this historical novel be told on screen. It's also precious for actor Nasser, who had earlier acted in a play based on the same novel. Just rehearsing for that play was like going into the past. Celebrating this collaboration were singers Sathyaprakash, Rakshita and a team of enthusiastic singers who took audiences on a musical trip to the Nineties and 2000s, performing numbers from hits like Bombay, Alaipayuthe and Guru. The opening portions of 'Ponni Nadhi' in the film album was crooned by singer Bamba Bakya, who passed away recently. The writing and storytelling in this book is amazing." "I started my training as an actor in Mani Ratnam's Iruvar. Ponniyin Selvan is precious in my journey as an actor." Befitting a project of such scale and grandeur, the trailer and audio launch function of the film that has music by AR Rahman, held in Chennai's Nehru Indoor Stadium on Tuesday evening, was rich in production value and graced by the who's who of tinseltown. Packaged with great musical performances and speeches, the launch could well be among the best film events conducted in recent times.
