Guest Edition: Anand Krishnamoorthi + Ponniyin Selvan

In this special episode, we journey through history with Kalki’s legendary 'Ponniyin Selvan' novels. We uncover how the reputation of the books has evolved with generations of Tamil readers, what challenges the film adaptation posed, and how this series inspired travelers to embark on their own literary pilgrimages. Join us in our very first interview episode with Anand Krishnamoorthi, the maestro behind the magical soundscape of the film adaptations.
