Mani Ratnam's 'Ponniyin Selvan 2' set to release worldwide, but no special shows in Tamil Nadu?

Ponniyin Selvan 2 is a highly anticipated film directed by Mani Ratnam, starring Vikram, Jayam Ravi, Aishwarya Rai, and Karthi in lead roles. The film is a sequel to the triumphant historical epic Ponniyin Selvan and has been in the making for months. The team has been busy promoting the film across the country for the past few weeks, generating hype and excitement among fans.

The film is all set to release worldwide, but fans in Tamil Nadu will not have the opportunity to watch special shows of the movie due to government restrictions. The lack of special shows is expected to affect the film's box office collection, as the working crowd typically prefers to catch hyped-up movies on the first day of release. The government seems strict on the no-special-show policy, tasking local authorities to check if any theatres are not adhering to the restriction.

Despite the restrictions, the film is expected to have a record release for a Tamil film, with the maximum number of screens. The film's songs and background score have been composed by A R Rahman, with several tracks released online and receiving outstanding reviews from fans. The film has been shot by cinematographer Ravi Varman, who also shot the first part, and is edited by A Sreekar Prasad. Mani Ratnam and Elango Kumaravel write the script.

Ponniyin Selvan 2 is one of the biggest releases from Tamil cinema this year and is expected to be a sprawling epic with a stellar cast and crew. Despite the lack of special shows in Tamil Nadu, the film is sure to draw huge crowds and break box office records. Fans worldwide eagerly await the film's release and are excited to see how the story unfolds.
