The trailer of Mani Ratnam's 'Ponniyin Selvan 2' is out and is creating waves across social media.
'Ponniyin Selvan-Part 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.
The film stars Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Chiyaan Vikram, Karthi, Jayam Ravi, Trisha, Aishwarya Lekshmi, Lal, and Sobhita Dhulipal, among others. The filmmakers behind this sensation from last year unveiled the trailer at a special event in Chennai last week. The trailer of the sequel teases viewers with the grand scale of the film.
The second part will take off from where it ended in the first part, where Ponniyin Selvan was facing his death as Queen Nandini (Aishwarya) jumps into the sea to save him. Aishwarya was quite the highlight in Part 1 and promises to play a key role in Part 2 as well.
She yearns to avenge the death of her father. In a scene, she is heard saying: "We will destroy the Cholas."
