    PS-II is a visual extravaganza that picks on from the thrilling climax of the previous film, which is also presently accessible for subscribers to stream on the platform. The film begins with a captivating preamble that explores the relationship between Aaditha Karikalan (Vikram) and Nandhini's (Aishwarya Rai Bachchan), as well as the ongoing power struggle of succession for the Chola dynasty and focuses on ArulmozhiVarman's (Jayam Ravi) transformation into Rajaraja I, the revered king of the Chola dynasty. PS-II is an unmissable conclusion to the two-part magnum opus, mesmerizingly resolving the mystery surrounding Arulmozhi's disappearance, which sets the tone for a compelling drama. 


    Director, producer, and writer Mani Ratnam said, "It's as if Kalki Krishnamoorthy wrote Ponniyin Selvan - a five-part novel - just so it could be mounted as a big-budget film. It has everything that makes for an entertaining film experience - action, adventure, drama, palace intrigues - all set against the backdrop of South Indian history's most critical period. This magnificent drama has been brewing in the minds of various filmmakers for almost five decades. It is a dream project for millions of people, not just me. PS: Parts I and II are now available to audiences worldwide."
