Trade analyst Ramesh Bala uploaded a series of pictures on Twitter with the caption: "#PonniyinSelvan | Following #Rajini, it's time for #Karthi!! To watch #PonniyinSelvan2 with a Tamil audience, Karthi enthusiasts from Japan travelled to Chennai. They apparently watched the movie four times, and they also met Karthi at his house in Chennai.
Karthi portrays the role of commander Vandhiyathevan in Mani Ratnam's multi-starrer film. Friday marked the global release of Ponniyin Selvan 2. The movie made more than Rs 200 crore over its debut weekend worldwide.
In a recent interview, Karthi discussed the reasons why Ponniyin Selvan 1 didn't have the same type of success at the box office in the North as it did in Tamil Nadu. During a pre-release media event, he admitted that audiences in the North did find it a little challenging to follow Ponniyin Selvan 1.
