Yesterday, the makers of PS-1 have been slapped with a legal notice by a lawyer Selvam for misrepresenting the Cholas. As per the report of India Today, soon after the official teaser, a petition was filed by Selvam. In his petition, he pointed out that Vikram who is playing Aditya Karikalan is been presented in a wrongful manner. He pointed out that the 'tilak' from Aditya's forehead was visible in posters, but it wasn't there in the teaser. The lawyer has demanded a special screening of the film, ahead of its release to scrutinise if the makers had misinterpreted historical facts in the film. Neither Mani Ratnam nor Vikram has responded to the notice yet. The two-part series of Ponniyin Selvan traces the rise and rule of the Chola Dynasty.
