The latest to join this list is actor-filmmaker Selvaraghavan. The Naane Varuvean director took to social media to express his admiration for the music of Ponniyin Selvan.
He wrote, "The best music album in my experience is without a doubt AR Rahman and Mani Ratnam sir's Ponniyin Selvan! The attention to detail in even the minutest sounds is astounding!"
