MGR’s Dream Come True
Single released from Animated movie ‘Vandhiyathevan : Ponniyin Selvan Vol 1’ Featuring MGR & Jayalalitha

It was MGR’s dream to act in Kalki’s epic Ponniyin Selvan. 


The project did not take off after releasing a poster. This 2020 on MGR’s birthday Saneeshwar Animations International has fulfilled MGR’s dream by producing ‘Vandhiyathevan : Ponniyin Selvan Vol 1’. After four years of animation work, the team has decided to release a single. 

The song is composed by ‘Periyar Kuthu’ fame Ramesh Thamilmani and penned by Madhan Karky, who has worked in projects such as Baahubali and Endhiran. Madhan Karky will also be penning the dialogues for this project. This big-budget project directed by Dhavachelvan will be released in multiple Indian languages. 


MGR’s philosophical songs are timeless compositions. Santhosh Jayakaran has crooned for the intro song of Vandhiyathevan. ‘Ulagam en ulagam naan utharavittaal vidiyum’ is how the song begins and ends on a high note ‘ovvoru nodiyum vairam endraal kaalam pudhaiyaldhaane; ovvoru ullamum ariyanai endraal nirandhara arasan naane!’ These lines were penned for MGR. 

The team celebrates MGR’s birthday in style by releasing this song and believes that the song will stay in the minds of everyone as the philosophical numbers of MGR.

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 late Kalki Krishnamurthy's epic historic novel of the same name.

 It tells the story of Arulmozhivarman, one of the kings of the Chola dynasty during the 10th and 11th
centuries.Soundarya Rajinikanth is set to don the hat of producer and creative director for this historic web series. A widely acclaimed director-producer, she has produced GOA, a Tamil Feature film, and
directed Kochadaiyaan, the first photorealistic motion capture film in Tamil, 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.”
