Tamil
Nadu's
highest-grossing
film
to
date,
Mani
Ratnam's
magnum
opus
periodic
war
drama
'Pnniyin
Selvan
1',
is
now
ready
with
its
sequel.
The
much-awaited
second
and
final
part
of
the
great
Cholas
is
ready
to
hit
the
screens
on
April
28.
Ponniyin
Selvan
1
was
released
amid
huge
cheers
and
anticipation
from
the
fans
of
the
respective
actors
involved
in
the
film,
the
director
and
the
team
for
more
than
several
reasons.
The
movie
in
itself
is
one
of
the
prestigious
films
for
people
of
Tamil
Nadu.
When
it
was
released
on
September
30,
none
would've
thought
PS
1
would
become
the
number
one
grosser
in
Tamil,
surpassing
Vikram.
However,
the
movie
received
mixed
reactions.
PS
1
ended
where
Ponniyin
Selvan
aka
Arunmozhi
Varma
along
with
Vandiyadevan
assumed
to
be
drowned
in
the
sea.
However,
a
look
alike
of
Nandini
Devi,
Oomai
Rani
swims
in
to
resuce
Arunmozhi
Varman.
Ponniyin
Selvan
2
aka
PS
2
will
chart
the
journey
of
how
Arunmozhi
Varman
comes
back
to
Tanjore,
how
Nandini
finally
plots
to
avenge
Pandya
King
Veerapandiyan
by
killing
Aditya
Karikalan.
The
characters
of
Vandiyadevan,
Vaanathi,
Kundavai
are
also
crucial
in
this
sequel.
AR
Rahman
composed
the
film's
entire
background
score
and
music.
The
songs
of
PS
2,
which
were
released
a
few
days
ago
at
a
grand
audio
launch
event
turned
out
to
be
successful.
