At an event, Karthi talked about why 'Ponniyin Selvan' did not do as well as 'KGF', 'Kantara' and 'RRR' in North India.

He said, "I think they (the audience in the North) found it a bit difficult to understand. That’s what I felt initially. When you are reading a novel, you will forget the names by the time you get to the tenth page. Similarly, here too they had that problem. However, when the film was released on OTT, they were able to get it. So, they will be able to better understand the film when the second part comes. However, the film was praised for its aesthetics."

During the promotion of 'Ponniyin Selvan', Mani Ratnam said that this film was his dream project and thanked the cast and crew for their hard work.

“PS (Ponniyin Selvan) has been a dream for a very long time, since the time I first read the book during my school days. I neither thought I’d ever get into films nor did I think I'd make it. But it’s always been my calling to be made. It’s so spectacular as a story and as an adventure. Several people had tried to do this before. They couldn’t for various reasons. Maybe they wanted to leave it for me! I am so happy and so glad that I got a chance to make it, and that too at this point in time when the technology has improved tremendously," he said.

'Ponniyin Selvan' is an adaptation of Kalki Krishnamurthy's 1955 novel of the same name. The movie stars Aishwarya Rai, Vikram, Trisha Krishnan, Karthi, Jayam Ravi, Sobhita Dhulipala, Prabhu, R. Sarathkumar, Vikram Prabhu, Jayaram, Prakash Raj, Rahman and R. Parthiban.
