Mani Ratnam’s much-awaited magnum opus Ponniyin Selvan: 1 is all set to hit the theatres on September 30. The audience is every bit excited to witness the period action drama film unfold on the big screen. Recently, the unique style of Ponniyin Selvan’s cast to promote the film has become a hot topic of discussion among netizens on social media.
Actors Chiyaan Vikram and Karthi, who will be seen playing pivotal roles in this Mani Ratnam directorial, undertook a unique ploy to promote the film. They referred to each other by their on-screen names on Twitter. Vikram has even changed his Twitter username to Aditha Karikalan.

Through his latest tweet, Chiyaan Vikram revealed that he will visit the Thanjavur district in Tamil Nadu. The Mahaan actor also mentioned that he would like to seek Lord Shiva’s blessings at the Brihadeeswarar Temple, originally known as Peruvudaiyar Kovil, before Ponniyin Selvan’s release. Vikram then asked Trisha’s Kundavai Pirattiyar if she will be accompanying him or not
He ended the tweet by writing that Vallavaraiyan Vandiyadevan (played by Karthi) will be joining him, along with Arulmozhi Varman (played by Jayam Ravi).
ok Coming to Tanjore. Don’t you want Peruvudaiyar’s blessing before starting the film tour of Ettu Thikum Pulikodi Nadu? Kundavai, are you coming? Vandiyathevan will come. What, my friend, will you come? So bring that Arunmozhi too! @Karthi_Offl @actor_jayamravi @trishtrashers pic.twitter.com/6JW2s8cfK8

Karthi replied to Vikram’s humourous tweet in an equally interesting manner. Addressing Prince Aditha Karikalan, Karthi expressed that he is exhausted after travelling from Thanjavur to Sri Lanka. The Dev actor wrote that he is suffering from a fever and wishes to work from home. Karthi ended the tweet by mentioning that he will have a word with Princess Kundavai over a video call and apologise to her for his absence.
For you, Prince, the fatigue of traveling from Tanjore to Lanka is not over yet. As I am suffering from fever I want to work from home. I will talk to the princess on video call and say sorry. Pls excuse me. pic.twitter.com/ak7Do9yBrK

In the following tweet, Chiyaan Vikram asked him to relax and recuperate. He ended the tweet by saying Karthi’s Vallavaraiyan Vandiyadevan to go to Thanjavur and meet their troops. He also shared, “Some battles must be won alone.”
That’s right. Relax my friend. Detox. Rest. Recuperate.
Some battles must be won alone. Go to Tanjore and meet our beloved troops. See you on the other side Vandiyadeva. @Karthi_Offl #PonniyinSelvan #AdithaKarikalaninThanjavur pic.twitter.com/lJ2CvsECi0— Aditha Karikalan (@chiyaan) September 14, 2022
In his response, Karthi replied expressing that he will not let the prince go anywhere without his protection. He ended his tweet by mentioning that he will be there to accompany him, irrespective of the task.
I cannot send you anywhere without my protection, prince. Even if it’s boring, I will come too.🤗🤗
