About PS2
The film is based on author Kalki’s novel of the same name. The first part of the film dramatizes the early life of the Chola prince Arunmozhi Varman, who became the legendary emperor Rajaraja I. Since its publication in 1955, a film adaptation of the novel ‘Ponniyin Selvan’ was explored by several Tamil filmmakers. However, it never materialized due to financial constraints. Even Mani Ratnam attempted to adapt the novel in the late 1980s and early 2010s but failed. Calling it his dream project, Mani Ratnam revived the effort in January 2019. While the first part was slated to release back in September 2022, the second part hit the theaters on April 28. Oscar-winning composer AR Rahman composed the music for the PS-2.
