Recently, during a media interaction, the actor spoke about how the people of north found PS1 difficult to understand.

“I think they (north audience) found it a little difficult to understand. That’s what I felt from my understanding of the reception. Imagine reading a novel with so many character names, you forget some of them when you reach the tenth page. Think that’s what happened with them,” Karthi said.

He further added that post the OTT release of PS1, they were able to get it. “I’ve been told they understood better. Therefore, I feel they will receive PS2 better when it releases in cinemas.”

The first part told the story of the early life of Arulmozhivarman (Ponniyin Selvan), who would become the Chola emperor Rajaraja I (947–1014).
