The first Indian film to be released using the 4DX format was Ayan Mukerji’s directorial Bharmastra Part: One which was released last year.
The 4DX format has been used by many Hollywood films like Wick Chapter 4, Shazam Fury Of The Gods and the upcoming Indiana Jones and the Dial Of Destiny. For those who are unaware, 4DX is an arrangement with various forms of practical effects that include strobe lights, motion seats and simulated snow. This model presents the films in both stereoscopic 3D and 2D formats.
Coming back to Ponniyin Selvan 2, the film has a stellar star cast including Vikram, Jayam Ravi, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Trisha and Karthi, among others. It is also one of Tamil cinema’s biggest productions to date.
The storyline of the historic drama is based on the Chola dynasty and the tug-of-war between the royal families for the Kingdom. It depicts the childhood of Chola prince Arunmozhi Varman, who goes on to become the famed emperor Rajaraja. The film is based on Kalki Krishnamurthy’s epic novel with the same title.
The music of the film has been scored by AR Rahman while Ravi Varman has handled the cinematography.
