    What's the story

    The makers of Mani Ratnam's upcoming magnum opus Ponniyin Selvan I dropped its first single at an event on Sunday in Chennai.

    Titled Ponni Nadhi in Tamil, it was released in several languages, including Telugu, Malayalam, Kannada, and Hindi.

    Speaking about the song, the film's lead actor Karthi said it took him on a ride to the Chola kingdom, adding it was "pure magic."

    Context

    Why does this story matter?

    Ponniyin Selvan I is one of the highly anticipated movies this year.

    Directed by Mani Ratnam, it has a star-studded cast, including Karthi, "Jayam" Ravi, "Chiyaan" Vikram, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, and Trisha to name a few.

    It is based on the popular 1955 Tamil novel of the same name.

    Ever since the film was announced, fans have been waiting for more updates about it.

    Quote

    Here's what Karthi said about the song

    After launching the song at the Chennai event, Karthi took to Twitter and wrote, "When I heard this song for the very first time, I felt as if I was riding into the Chola Kingdom! Pure magic! Join me in this journey."

    Ponni Nadhi which translates to "Ponni (Cauvery) River," has lyrics penned by Ilango Krishnan and was crooned and composed by AR Rahman.
