The highly anticipated sequel to the hit Tamil film Ponniyin Selvan is set to release worldwide on April 28th. Despite the popularity of the novel and the success of the first film, the buzz for the second part has been relatively low in comparison to other blockbuster sequels like Baahubali 2 and KGF Chapter 2.
Due to the lack of buzz, the makers have decided to release the film in their own production in most major areas, rather than relying on traditional distributors. The estimated valued business for the film is 170 crore rupees worldwide, with the majority of the revenue expected to come from Tamil Nadu, where it is valued at 80 crore rupees.
The film’s break-even point is set at around 335 crore rupees gross, which means it needs to earn that much to be considered a success. However, with the current low buzz, the film will need a super positive reception from the audience to reach that target.
