The Kalki Group on Wednesday announced a travel documentary titled “Paraak Paraak”, a production based on writer and journalist Kalki R. Krishnamurthy’s magnum opus Ponniyin Selvan.
Announcing this at a press conference here, Group CEO and Editor Lakshmi Natarajan said that the launch was timed to coincide with the festival of Aadi Perukku, which also is the day the historic novel starts at Veeranam Lake.
“We follow the trail of Vandhiya Thevan, who many consider as the hero of the novel and the one who travels from Veeranam to Ilankai (Sri Lanka) and back. However, the shoots in Sri Lanka are yet to be done,” she said. Four teasers to the visual treat that would be released on Kalki’s YouTube channel from September 24, were launched on the occasion.
