A two minute trailer of Prashanth''s comeback epic film Ponnar Shankar has already taken Kollywood by storm, creating curiosity among the audience and critics alike.
After almost 40 years, Ponnar Shankar will be among the first historic films to be made in Tamil. The film is based on Kalaignar’s historical novel ''Ponnar Sankar'', the story of two brave brothers (Ponnar and Sankar) of Kongu Ponnaru Nadu (present districts of Coimbatore, Erode, Karur, and parts of Tiruchi and Madurai).
The novel has a perfect storyline, fit to be made into a grand film. It narrates the bravery of these twin brothers and their camaraderie.
Prashanth will enact the roles of Ponnar and Sankar; his father Thiagarajan is the producer and director. They have decided to make it so grand that it will be remembered as the best historical film ever made.
Their aim is to make this film earn the same level of international recognition which films like Troy have garnered. Interestingly, the film has two major battle sequences for which the crew has used around 30,000 people and 3,000 horses.
Pantaloons Femina Miss India 2009 Pooja Chopra and model Divya Parameshwaran are the heroines. The film also stars Sneha, Sathyaraj, Jayaram, Khushbu, Prakashraj, Napoleon, Rajkiran and Vijayakumar in prominent roles.
