The trailer for ‘Ponniyin Selvan: II’ teases the epic conclusion to the historical Indian duology.
The hotly anticipated first trailer for director Mani Ratnam’s Ponniyin Selvan: II was released at a grand, star-studded event in Chennai, India, on Wednesday. PS: II is a follow-up to Ratnam’s blockbuster Ponniyin Selvan: I, which was released to positive reviews in September. At the time, Ratnam had promised that the second part, which was shot back-to-back with the first, would arrive within nine months.
The super-sized three-and-a-half minute trailer doubles down on the palace intrigue and sword-and-sandal action that fans of the first film enjoyed so much. The Ponniyin Selvan movies are based on the epic historical novels by writer Kalki, which in turn were inspired by the stories of the Chola kingdom in 10th century India. The trailer opens with the final scene of the first film, in which the titular Ponniyin Selvan was presumed dead after a shipwreck, but was rescued by a mysterious woman .
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT His grieving brother Aditha Karikalan resolves to avenge his death, and sets into a motion a plot to conquer rival lands with the aid of his warrior companion Vallavaraiyan , who provided comic relief in the first film. We also catch up with Aditha’s sister, the princess Kundavai, who remains suspicious of Aditha’s scorned love interest Nandini .
It’s important to know that India has several thriving film industries that work independently of each other. The popular Hindi film industry, for instance, should not be confused for the Telugu industry, which produced last year’s hit RRR. And neither should be confused for the Tamil industry, which is home to some of the biggest stars in the country. Several of them are a part of the Ponniyin Selvan films.
Audiences that enjoyed RRR might want to check out the Ponniyin Selvan films; the first one wasn’t quite as over-the-top as RRR director S.S. Rajamouli’s two-part Baahubali series, but it was still a quintessentially maximalist South Indian film experience. Local audiences certainly lapped it up, and with interest at an all-time high for the second part, it’s looking like one of the surest bets of the year.
