Ponniyin Selvan 2: HERE's when the FDFS of Mani Ratnam film will drop in theatres

With less than a few hours for director Mani Ratnam's magnum opus Ponniyin Selvan 2 to hit screens, film buffs and fans of the epic novel are making a beeline to theatres and booking platforms to seal their seats for the show. Though fans had expected the movie to have an early morning release, the FDFS of the historical fiction is only at 9am across theatres in Tamil Nadu.

It looks like the government hasn't given permission for early morning shows and hence, fans will have to make do with the show at 9am. This has come as a disappointment to those who wanted to catch the film before they headed to work and their respective assignments, since Friday is a working day. The shows are being booked fast and furious across theatres worldwide.

However, in the neighbouring states of Kerala and Karnataka, early morning shows around 5am and 6am are being screened.

The team of Ponniyin Selvan, too, is promoting their film in a big way. The last leg of the Chola tour, which was spearheaded by the lead star cast including Vikram, Trisha, Jayam Ravi, Karthi, Aishwarya Lekshmi and Sobhita Dhulipala, came to an end yesterday with an outing to Trichy. Mani Ratnam, the captain of the ship, himself was present at the do.
