Ponniyin Selvan 1, which hit theaters last year, is one of the biggest hits of all time in Tamil cinema. The film collected 125 crores in its first week of release in Tamil Nadu alone. Arriving with the best pre-release hype in Tamil cinema in recent times, the film lived up to those expectations and received positive word-of-mouth publicity from the day of release. The film became a historic success as it was reflected in the collection.
The recent history of Indian cinema has seen successful sequels becoming even bigger hits. Baahubali and KGF are examples of that. That’s what the makers hope for Ponniyin Selvan 2 too. Fans have already started talking about what the sequel will be, which will hit the theaters on April 28.
But when the second part of the film arrives in Telugu, the news is not so good. Reports are coming in that no distributor is willing to take Ponniyin Selvan 2 for Telugu distribution. Ponniyin Selvan 1 performed very poorly in theaters in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. It is said that this is why the distributors are reluctant to show serious interest in the second part of the film.
