Aishwarya is all set to make her acting come back with this Mani Ratnam directorial. Set in the 10th century, the film features her as Nandini, Jayam Ravi as Arulmozhi Varman, Karthi as Vandhiyathevan and Trisha as Kundavai.

Ponniyin Selvan: Part 1 also features Aishwarya Lekshmi, Sarath Kumar, Vikram Prabhu, Sobhita Dhulipala, Jayaram, Prabhu, Parthiban, and Prakash Raj. It is based on Kalki Krishnamurthy’s eponymous Tamil novel that was serialised in the 1950s.

PS 1 will reportedly track the factional power struggles within the Chola empire, with enemies of the state acting as catalysts. The story is set in the tumultuous period before Ponniyin Selvan, later known as Rajaraja Chola, became one of the greatest emperors in Indian history.

Ponniyin Selvan Part 1 is scheduled to release in theatres in Tamil, Hindi, Telugu, Kannada, and Malayalam on September 30.
