Chennai: The makers of Mani Ratnam's "Ponniyin Selvan II" announced on Sunday that the film has grossed Rs 100 crore worldwide.
Friday saw the release of the lavishly produced feature film's second act in Tamil along with dubs in Hindi, Kannada, Telugu, and Malayalam.
Madras Talkies, Ratnam’s production house, shared the box office numbers on its official Twitter page.
“Conquering hearts and box office alike! #PS2 garners over a 100 crore collection worldwide. #PS2RunningSuccessfully,” the banner said in the tweet.
Based on author Kalki Krishnamurthy’s hugely popular 1955 Tamil novels of the same name, “Ponniyin Selvan II” stars Vikram, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Karthi, Jayam Ravi, Trisha, Sobhita Dhulipala and Prakash Raj, among others.
Considered one of the most expensive movies ever made with a reported budget of Rs 500 crore, the period action epic chronicles the story of the early days of Arulmozhivarman (Jayam Ravi), one of the most powerful kings in the south who went on to become the great Chola emperor Rajaraja Chola I.
The first part, co-produced by Madras Talkies and A Subaskaran’s Lyca Productions, was released in September 2022.
