Ponniyin Selvan-1 Characters Wore Real Gold Jewellery

The makers of Ponniyin Selvan- 1 revealed that the jewellery worn by the characters in the film is made of real gold and was designed keeping in mind the small details of the Chola period.

Director Mani Ratnam said, "We gave special emphasis to the costumes to make them believable and lend period-specific authenticity and still evoke that sense of royalty. We were very lucky to have Kishandas (the jewellery designer) on board with us and we worked with actual gold jewellery.” He further added, “The artisans worked around the small details of the Chola period and made the ornaments specific to the characters."
