The film stars Prashanth in dual roles as the legendary warrior princes, supported by a stellar cast including Prakash Raj, Jayaram, Prabhu, Khushbu Sundar, and Sneha.

Upon its release, Ponnar Shankar received mixed reviews. While praised for its cinematography, art direction, and music, critics found the screenplay weak, making the film fall short of expectations. The controversy surrounding its portrayal of historical figures also stirred debates. Despite these setbacks, the film remains a notable attempt at historical storytelling in Tamil cinema.
