In an earlier interview with NDTV, the South actress had revealed about her off screen rapport with Ash saying, “She is beautiful inside and out, I don't even need to say that. The thing is, this was challenging because we are not supposed to like each other too much in this film, but we got along pretty famously on set. There were times when Mani sir would come and say, 'listen, you guys are taking too much, stop talking, I can't have this camaraderie for my scene’.”

Speaking of Ponniyin Selvan, the film is a two part epic saga based on the historical novel by the same written by Kalki Krishnamurthy. The film starring Vikram as Aditya Karikalan, Karthi as Vanthiyathevan, Jayam Ravi as Arulmozhi Varman, among others.
