Ponniyin Selvan 2 Updates

The short video shared along with the release date of the film opens with an enraged Adhitha Karikalan (Vikram) sitting in front of Kali's statue, followed by a glance at Arulmozhi Varman (Jayam Ravi) walking amidst many monks. Vanthiyathevan (Karthi) is shown sitting on a tree, and the clip ends with a peek at Nandhini (Aishwarya Rai Bachan) sitting in front of a mirror with a sword in her hand. Fans seem to be a little saddened that Kundhavai (Trisha Krishnan), another pivotal character, is missing from the short video.

The climax showed Arulmozhi Varman and Vanthiyathevan drowning in the sea after a class with the Pandyas. The sequel will reveal how Arulmozhi Varman and Vandthiyathevan are saved and the mystery behind Nandhini.
