Mumbai/IBNS: Aishwarya Rai Bachchan-Vikram starrer magnum opus Ponniyin Selvan 2 has finally got a release date.

On Wednesday, the official Twitter handle of Lyca Productions shared a short clip announcing the release date as April 28, 2023.

The caption read, "Let's get those swords in the air as we await the 28th of April 2023! #CholasAreBack #PS1 #PS2#PonniyinSelvan."

The clip opens with Aditya Karikalan (Vikram) sitting in front of a Kali statute and also shows glimpses of Nandini (Aishwarya Rai Bachchan), Arulmozhi Varman (Jayam Ravi) and Vandhiyathevan (Karthi).

Nandini can be seen sitting in front of a mirror, looking worried, while Arulmozhi Varman is seen walking amid monks and Vandhiyathevan, sitting in the forest, is seen with many wounds.

The text in the clip reads, "The Cholas are back."

Directed by Mani Ratnam, the film's second part will feature Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Chiyaan Vikram, Jayam Ravi, Karthi,  Trisha, Aishwarya Lekshmi and Sobhita Dhulipala.

Ponniyin Selvan is an epic historical action-adventure drama based on Kalki Krishnamurthy's 1995 novel of the same name.

The first part revolved around the early life of Chola Prince Arulmozhi Varman.

The movie was released in theatres worldwide on Sept 30, 2022, to wide applause and critical appreciation.
