ponniyin selvan I, the most ambitious film by director mani ratnam, was released in theatres last year. It has a revenue of over Rs 500 crore and became the highest-grossing tamil movie of 2022. The international box office for ponniyin selvan II, which debuted last friday (April 28), has surpassed the coveted Rs 100 crore threshold in just two days. Unquestionably, the publication of ponniyin selvan marks a turning point in tamil cinema, as generations of filmmakers had been considering adapting the 1955 book of the same name by kalki Krishnamurthy for the big screen.
Fans were astounded when mani ratnam took the tale of ponniyin selvan on the 70mm screen. The audience was enthralled by everything from the actors and costumes to the music, the love tales depicted, and the intricate war scenarios. Although Mani condensed Kalki's novel into two cinematic parts, the viewers were only left wanting more. Additionally, discussions about spin-off films on social media don't appear to be slowing down anytime soon.
Chiyaan Vikram, who portrayed Aditha Karikalan, and Karthi, who played Vallavaraiyan Vandiyadevan in the landmark film, discuss the prospective ponniyin selvan spin-offs in an exclusive interview with News18. We are all a part of the cosmos, which began 70 years ago. There are numerous books and stories about it. We can adapt it into a movie if we remove one chapter. The entire thing has been divided into two parts. The Raavanan (2010) and Pithamagan (2003) actor claims that there should have been four or five portions.
There is so much story, vikram continues when asked about the spin-offs he would like to see as a viewer. I might have a history. There might be a tale about Arunmozhi and what happens to him once the movie is over. The journey of Vallavaraiyan may be the subject of a tale. There is still a lot to do, even if we don't copy exactly what is in the book and fictionalise some details.
