Ace filmmaker Mani Ratnam's magnum opus, Ponniyin Selvan: 1, continues to enchant audiences after it premiered on Amazon Prime Video last month and is now the highest-grossing Tamil film for the year 2022 with more than 500 crores in worldwide box office collections. Produced by Lyca Productions in association with Madras Talkies, the first installment of the epic historical action drama based on acclaimed Tamil writer Kalki Krishnamurthy's novel of the same name and featuring music by Academy Award-winning composer A. R. Rahman ended on a cliffhanger note leaving fans wanting for more. Among the major aspects of PS: 1 were the songs, including the 'Sol' track, which was released in the album, but was excluded from the theatrical version of the film. In that light, Tips Tamil, the official audio label of the film, released the full 'Sol' video song on Thursday, December 8, which has been picturized on Trisha Krishnan and Sobhita Dhulipala, who portray Kundavai Devi and Vaanathi, respectively.
