Mani Ratnam directed Ponniyin Selvan 2 which is a multi-starrer sequel to his last movie Ponniyin Selvan 1, is all set to release in theaters from tomorrow i.e. April 28, 2023 [Friday]. Unlike the first movie which had hit songs, multiple poster releases and extravagant promotions that had the audience buzzing with anticipation, there were talks of Ponniyin Selvan 2 making less noise in the days leading upto release.
However the booking status for Ponniyin Selvan 2 is starkly different from talks of this low hype. Trade estimates an opening day gross of Rs. 16-18 Cr. in Tamil Nadu for Ponniyin Selvan 2. In Bengaluru alone, i.e. the capital city of Karnataka, PS-2 is said to have sold 18.4 K tickets grossing Rs. 77 lakhs in pre-sales.
While the advance bookings are going on in full swing for PS-2, the team on the other has been busy promoting the movie with in-person visits by actors Chiyaan Vikram, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Trisha, Jayam Ravi, Karthi, Aishwarya Lekshmi, Shobita Dhulipala, director Mani Ratnam and music composer AR Rahman. Lyca Productions has also been busy advertising the film's release on large displays for the international audience.
