THe trailer of the 2nd part of Mani Ratnam directorial epic Ponniyin Selvan 2 is here. The film, which stars A-listers such as Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Karthi, Vikram, Trisha, Jayam Ravi among others, promises another enchanting and exhilarating chapter of the Chola dynasty.

In the over three-minute video, we see that after the apparent death of Ponniyin Selvan, a new crown prince has been announced. Meanwhile, Vikram’s Karikalan is offered to rule the other half of the Chola kingdom. In between the chaos of this transfer of power, we see that Jayam Ravi’s titular character is actually alive, as Trisha’s Kundavai questions him who saved his life. We also get to see Aishwarya’s Nandini and Oomai Rani, who had jumped into the sea at the last moment to save Ravi’s character from drowning.

Towards the end of the trailer, the action reaches a crescendo as we see Nandini come face to face with Karikalan. She draws her sword with trembling hands as Karikalan’s face wears a soft, longing expression.
