Maniratnam’s ideal undertaking was Ponniyin Selvan 1, or PS 1. Even though it was a Maniratnam film, when it was released on September 30, 2022, it didn’t garner much notice. But after the film was out, everything was different, and from the first day, there was positive chatter all over the nation. However, PS 1 quickly rose to the top of the Tamil film charts. The highly anticipated sequel’s release date has been set for April 28, 2022, according to its creators.
