Well done to the entire team #ManiRatnam @chiyaan, @trishtrashers, @actor_jayamravi, @Karthi_Offl and the rest of the cast and crew.” Abhishek also wrote a special note for his wife Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, who plays Nandini, Queen of Pazhuvoor in the film. “And so, so proud of the Mrs. Her best by far. #AishwaryaRaiBachchan.” His tweet went viral in no time.

Sir, she certainly doesn't need my permission to do anything. Especially something she loves.”
Ponniyin Selvan 2 stars Vikram, Jayam Ravi, Sobhita Dhulipala, Trisha Krishnan, and Karthi. The film is based on Kalki Krishnamurthy's famous novel.
Film critic Saibal Chatterjee, in his review for NDTV, said, “Ponniyin Selvan, based on an adaptation of Kalki's magnum opus by director Mani Ratnam, B. Jeyamohan and Elango Kumaravel, takes some liberties with the much-loved literary work. It yields dividends because the departures are never unduly self-conscious. The overall impact of the construct is accentuated by Ratnam's firm grasp on the technical aspects and the textual essence of the story.”
