New Delhi:
A quick look at Thursday’s trend list shows that Ponniyin Selvan 2 is very trending. The trailer for Mani Ratnam’s magnum opus was released last night and it’s still trending now. TBH, we’re not at all surprised given the film’s impressive all-star cast, which includes Vikram as Aditha Karikalan, Jayam Ravi who plays Arulmozhi Varman, Karthi who plays Vanthiyathevan as Vallavaraiyan, Kundavi (played by Trisha) and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan as Nandini (She has a dual role). Aishwarya Rai Bachchan as Nandini is a fan favorite and the many tweets about her character are a testament to that. Let’s take a look at some tweets.
Before that, watch the Ponniyin Selvan 2 trailer here:
A Twitter user shared his favorite scene from the trailer, and of course Nandini is in it. “Goosebumps at the end of the Ponniyin Selvan trailer. Nandini looking at the throne, Nandini’s conflicting look, Aditya Karikalan’s (Aditha Karikalan)’s love for her,” one fan wrote.

“The whole trailer is epic and there’s Aishwarya Rai, her dialogues, her facial expressions. If she doesn’t win every award, it’s the award that doesn’t have credibility,” wrote another fan.

The historical drama is based on Kalki Krishnamurthy’s popular historical novel Ponniyin Selvan (The Son of Ponni) and its cast includes some of the biggest stars including Vikram, Trisha, Karthi and Jayam Ravi. Also present are Sobhita Dhulipala and Aishwarya Lekshmi. The second part of the film is scheduled to hit theaters on April 28th.
Ponniyin Selvan, produced by Lyca Productions, was the first part of the magnum opus. It was released in September last year in five languages - Tamil, Hindi, Telugu, Malayalam and Kannada. The film collided with Vikram Vedha starring Hrithik Roshan and Saif Ali Khan at the box office. The film received good reviews from film critics and was equally adept at impressing audiences.
