Aishwarya will be seen reprising her role in Ponniyin Selvan-Part 2. PS-1 was a cinematic adaptation of author Kalki Krishnamurthy’s Tamil novel of the same name which was released in the form of a series during the 1950s.

It marks the third collaboration of Aishwarya with south actor Vikram after their critically acclaimed film Raavan in 2010. The second part is set to be out on April 28.

Filmmaker Mani Ratnam has helmed the first and second parts. The film will continue to focus on Arulmozhi Varman, and his journey to becoming the Chola empire’s greatest ruler Rajaraja Chola I.

The second part is also expected to focus on the flashback story of Vikram aka Aditya Karikalan. The sequel will also show the relationship between Ponniyin Selvan and Oomai Rani, played by Aishwarya.
