The film crew is requesting not to fairly compare them in promotions, interviews and everywhere possible. So, why Ponniyin Selvan and Baahubali shouldn't be compared? 

"Wishing the cast and crew all the best for a sweeping success", Meena added and she shared Aishwarya Rai's picture as Nandini. 

In the midst of celebrating the history and the thumping opening for the movie, the makers of Ponniyin Selvan were shocked that it has become the latest victim to go into the hands of piracy.

Kaakha Kaakha is one of the movies that gave a crucial breakthrough for Suriya and it was released in 2003.

Ponniyin Selvan has now arrived in the theatres from the minds of acclaimed filmmaker Mani Ratnam, who has successfully brought the cohort of top stars on the single screen.

Perhaps the unversed audience needs a cheat sheet to settle in the premiere seats so they can enjoy the show a little bit more by knowing what's going on in the land of Cholas.

Interestingly, Karthi is also awaiting the release of his next movie 'Sardar' which will hit the big screens during this year's Diwali - on October 24. 

The biggest shocker came as a demand from the Coimbatore lawyers regarding the film's title in the advertisements amid the hype grew.

Pre-bookings are sold out for almost the entire weekend, which has become evident how far the hype has gone.

Besides directing the movie, Dhanush's brother Selvaraghavan makes a special cameo appearance, which is an extra perk, as they didn't appear in the same film.
