He took to Twitter to share a picture along with Mani Ratnam from outside the recording studio. AR Rahman revealed that the work is going on at Abbey Road Studios.

The first part tells the story of the early life of Arulmozhivarman (Ponniyin Selvan), who would become the Chola emperor Rajaraja I (947–1014).

The film stars Jayam Ravi in the role of Arulmozhivarman while Vikram, Karthi, Trisha, and Aishwarya Rai were seen in other key roles. It released last year in theatres.

At the box office, Ponniyin Selvan 1 collected over ₹500 crore club globally and had become the second Tamil film after Rajinikanth’s 2.0 to achieve this feat.

In Tamil Nadu, it became the highest-grossing film with gross earnings of over ₹230 crore, surpassing SS Rajamouli’s Baahubali 2.

Ponniyin Selvan 1 marked Aishwarya Rai’s comeback to Tamil cinema after a decade.

Aishwarya was seen playing dual roles--Nandini and her mother Mandakini Devi.

Upon release, both audiences and critics were mighty impressed with Aishwarya’s performance.
