Part 1 of the Ponniyin Selvan series ended on a cliffhanger, leaving fans who haven’t read the book wondering what happens to Arunmozhi Varman and Vanthiyadhevan. The movie Ponniyin Selvan is based on a 1995 novel of the same name, authored by Kalki Krishnamurthy. Like the first part, the film will be released in five languages including Tamil, Telugu, Hindi, Malayalam, and Kannada.

Ponniyin Selvan 2 Trailer

The 3-minute ">trailer for Ponniyin Selvan 2 gives a gist of the sequel’s plot. The trailer opens with the news of the alleged demise of Arunmozhi Varman reaching the Chola kingdom. While the entire kingdom believes that the Chola heir drowned to death in the sea, he and his friend Vanthiyathevan are saved by a mysterious woman, Oomai Rani, also played by Aishwarya Rai Bachchan.

The Crown Prince, Adhitha Karikalan, objects to the atrocious decision of dividing their motherland into two, as suggested by the ministers. Nandhini, along with the Pandiyan secret forces, plots a devious plan to kill Aditha Karikalan. Meanwhile, Kundavai, who had met her brother Arunmozhi Varman at his hideout, is informed that the woman who saved him resembles Nandhini. She questions her father, Sundara Cholan, about this mystery woman. There is a lot of action, war, blood, and gore, and the trailer ends with a visual of Nandhini confronting Karikalan with a sword in her hand.

The trailer keeps us hooked to the screen for 3 minutes straight, completely mesmerised by Ravi Varman’s cinematography coupled with AR Rahman’s background score. Every single actor seems to have lived their respective roles, making it feel so real and authentic. The trailer for PS2 is more intense, action-packed, adventurous, and filled with an air of mystery, which will all be answered in the film.

Promising or breathtaking would be understatements as the trailer has increased the film's hype by exceeding our expectations. The Cholas are back, fiercer than before, to take us all back to the Chola dynasty of the 10th century. Gear up to travel along with the Cholas this summer! Ponniyin Selvan fans, we are in for a royal visual treat!
