Mani Ratnam is making brisk progress on 'Ponniyin Selvan'. After a short stint in Puducherry, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Vikram, Jayam Ravi and others have apparently commenced the final schedule of the period drama in Hyderabad. A set of a huge fortress has been constructed on a hillock at Ramoji Film City, where Vikram’s character — Aditya Karikalan — will lead a war.
