The leading stars of Ponniyin Selvan, Karthi, Jayam Ravi, Sobhita Dhulipala, Vikram Prabhu, Trisha, and Aishwarya Lekshmi, along with the film’s director Mani Ratnam, met with media ahead of the release of the second part of the film. The team thanked the media for their support and answered many questions about the upcoming movie. PS1 was undoubtedly a hit in Tamil Nadu, but the film couldn’t register the same impact in the North like Kantara and KGF. When asked about the reception the film received in other states, Karthi admitted that the North found Ponniyin Selvan 1 a bit hard to understand.
“I think they (the audience in the North) found it a bit difficult to understand. That’s what I felt initially. When you are reading a novel, you will forget the names by the time you get to the tenth page. Similarly, here too they had that problem. However, when the film was released on OTT, they were able to get it. So, they will be able to better understand the film when the second part comes. However, the film was praised for its aesthetics,” he said.
Karthi added, “In Kerala and Karnataka the film was well-received. In the South, due to the relatability factor, the film worked well. However, after the OTT release, even many from North are awaiting the release of the second part.”
The remaining story of Rajaraja Chola aka Arulmozhi Varman’s ascent to the throne will conclude with the second part, which will be released on April 28. The film will finally reveal the identity of Nandini and Oomai Rani, and the one who is going to sit on the throne of one of the biggest empires that ruled the Southern part of India.
