Karthi is looking forward to the release of Mani Ratnam’s film Ponniyin Selvan 2 (PS 2), slated to hit screens on April 28. Although the film created a great buzz among Tamil fans, it failed to click much with the North Indian audience. Now, the actor in a media interaction said that North Indian audience found it a difficult to follow Ponniyin Selvan 1 (PS1).

He said, “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.”

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.”

PS-2 stars Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Chiyaan Vikram, Karthi, Trisha Krishnan, Sobhita Dhulipala in leading roles and Sarathkumar, Prabhu, Lal, Kishore, Ashwin Kakumanu, and Aishwarya Lekshmi in supporting roles. It will release on April 28.
