Mani Ratnam’s period drama, Ponniyin Selvan 2, opened in theatres amid much enthusiasm and anticipation. The second instalment of the epic two-part historical saga is performing well at the box office. Given the craze for the film and the spectacular star cast, everything contributed to the movie’s box office numbers going high.
PS 2 marks Aishwarya and Vikram’s second collaboration after the 2010 film which was highly appreciated as well. The film features Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Karthi, Chiyaan Vikram, Trisha and Jayam Ravi in lead roles. Prakash Raj, Prabhu, Aishwarya Lekshmi, Sobhita Dhulipala, Jayaram, Ashwin Kakumanu, Mohan Raman, Sarathkumar and Parthiban are part of the supporting cast. Composer AR Rahman, editor Sreekar Prasad and cinematographer Ravi Varman are part of the technical crew.
The second installment of Ponniyin Selvan is based on Kalki Krishnamurthy’s 1955 novel of the same name. It will take off from the conclusion of the first movie, where the viewers saw Ponniyin Selvan facing his death, as Aishwarya Rai’s Oomai Rani jumps into the sea to save him. The film is bankrolled by Madras Talkies and Lyca Productions.
