According to reports, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan will play a double role. The roles of Queen Nandini and Mandakini Devi will be portrayed by her in the next film. 


The film depicts the early years of Arulmozhi Varman, who would grow up to become the famous Raja Chozhan. The first part of the movie tells the tale of his childhood, which is followed by the rest of the events of the film.
