The trailer of Ponniyin Selvan 2, the long-awaited second installment of Mani Ratnam’s Magnum opus, was released last night at a great trailer launch event in Chennai. The Tamil audience and industry circle media groups were eagerly waiting for the launch of the trailer.
It is very well known to everyone that the first part of Ponniyin Selvan was liked by the Tamil people only and that’s the reason the movie had under performed in other languages and now the trailer of the 2nd part has also given the same feel.
The audience felt bore after watching the trailer, and they found it difficult to complete the full trailer because it tests the patience as it goes with no highs and as said above, even this part of Ponniyin Selvan also looks targeted at the Tamil audience only.
