To increase the anticipation, the film’s incredibly talented music composer, AR Rahman, has just dropped the Ponniyin Selvan Anthem. Sung by Rahman himself and Nabyla in Tamil, and Arijit Singh and Benny Dayal in Hindi, the song is a powerful tribute to the grandeur of the Chola dynasty. The music video features Rahman in his element, performing the song while seated on a majestic throne, and is accompanied by tantalizing glimpses of the movie.
