1. Ponniyin Selvan 2 will give audiences a bigger picture compared to the first one. The Ponniyin Selvan film trilogy franchise is based on and inspired by Kalki Krishnamurthy’s novel based on the life of Raja Raja Chozhan. With a screenplay written by Mani Ratnam, Jeyamohan, and Kumaravel, the first film, set in the 10th century, shows how a power struggle between different branches of the ruling Chola family started causing violent rifts.

2. Ponniyin Selvan 2 trailer gave glimpses of changing power dynamics and struggle within the Chola dynasty. The second much-awaited magnum opus Tamil drama film, Ponniyin Selvan 2, would dive much deeper into the story. It would give fans a glimpse of the changing power dynamics that led to the Cholas becoming the most successful and strongest empire on the continent and one of the most thriving and long-reigning in Indian history.

3. Aishwarya Rai's multi-layered performance as Nandini is superb. Aishwarya Rai Bachchan who plays a double role in Ponniyin Selvan 2 as Nandini and the undisclosed character towards the second half, is back with more vengeance to kill Karikaran (Chiyaan Vikram) and is eyeing the throne in order to rule as the ruling queen in the Chola dynasty. Her nuanced performance glimpses in the trailer have made fans thrilled to watch it in theatres.

4. In Ponniyin Selvan 2 trailer, we see breathtaking visuals, exceptional acting chops, a gritty storyline, brilliant cinematography, excellent direction, and much more. 

5. The music by the finest musician maverick AR Rehman only raises the bar of the film several notches higher compared to the original pan-Indian blockbuster film.

6. The trailer depicts how Cholas are back with more vengeance and power to claim their throne. Nandini (Aishwarya Rai Bachchan) is back with more anger and vengeance. She is vicious and wants to kill Karikaran (Chiyaan Vikram) and defeat the Cholas. 

7. A big war sequence is seen in which the Chola empire people are fighting with enemies, particularly Nandini is at the forefront of all this. Somehow the makers have not given many details away which has piqued more curiosity among fans.
