Talking about the ambitious film of his, Mani Ratnam later revealed his previous attempt in making Ponniyin Selvan more than three decades ago. He signed off, “This is the film that the earlier super star M G Ramachandran wanted to make. And I thought of making it after my film Nayagan (1987) with Kamal Haasan. We both wanted to do this film. At that time, we had not started casting. We just had Kamal as the hero and we were working on the script. But unfortunately, it didn't materialize because it’s too big. We couldn’t put the whole story into a single film. Also, we couldn’t afford it then 35 years ago.”
