The mammoth project marks Mani's return after a four-year hiatus; his last film was the multi-starrer Chekka Chivantha Vaanam which was released in 2018. Mani had recently revealed that he had made three attempts to make Ponniyin Selvan in the past, but in vain.

Thota Tharani and Sreekar Prasad are the art director and editor for the film respectively while Ravi Varman has cranked the camera for the movie. The movie is releasing in two installments, but the team is yet to announce the release date of its second part.

A few actors like Vikram, Aishwarya Rai, Trisha, Prakash Raj and Karthi have teamed up earlier with Mani, while some others like Jayam Ravi, Jayaram and Vikram Prabhu are elated about their first collaboration with the master filmmaker.
