While South industries are making films that do wonders at the box office, Tamil cinema fans are desperate for a 1000 crore box office hit. While Bahubali 2 and RRR made the feat from Telugu film industry, Kannada came up with KGF 2. Though Vikram became the most profitable film of Tamil cinema, it didn’t reach the 1000 C mark and Ponniyin Selvan is the next hope for the Tamil audience.

The most awaited “Ponniyin Selvan” teaser released in the evening of Friday with much expectations from fans and followers of Tamil cinema. The one minute twenty seconds long teaser of the magnum opus showed Jayam Ravi, Karthi, Vikram, Sarath kumar, Parthiban, Jayaram, Trisha, Aishwarya Rai and others in action. With A.R Rahman’s musical, Mani Ratnam seemingly pulled off a film that could make the entire Indian film industry to turn at Kollywood. In the meantime, a tweet uploaded by Rajamouli 10 plus years ago about “Ponniyin Selvan” novel is trending in the micro blogging social media site.

The teaser of the historical drama was launched at a grand event in Chennai today along with the star cast and the team. The teaser was unveiled digitally by legendary actors superstar Amitabh Bhachchan, Mahesh babu, Suriya, Mohan lal and Rakshith Shetty in Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam and Kannada respectively.

The teaser video revolves around the power struggle of the Chola empire during the 10th century and will hit the screens in two installments. Helmed by Mani Ratnam, is going to have Aishwarya Rai as Nandhini, Vikram as Adithya Karikalan, Karthi as Vandhiyathevan, Trisha as Kudhavai and Jayamravi as Arulmozhi Varman.

Dear kollywood fans, don’t blindly support everything cause of Tamil affection

Demand for the best

This is 👇 #Bahubali 1 teaser

Nearly 8 years back with not even half the budget of #PonniyinSelvan#PonniyinSelvanTeaser is a very average one…. https://t.co/8hzeRyAMSD

Forget about Bahubali. Sye raa had best visual than #PonniyinSelvan and it’s a 500 cr project ….

SSR or Shankar could have done better justice to the great Kalki’s novel on big screen. It’s a complete garbage considering the budget.
