During a recent media interaction, while talking about the box office competition between Vikram Vedha and Mani Ratnam's Ponniyin Selvan, Pushkar said, “Ponniyin Selvan is a classic text, a tale of intrigue set during the Chola Empire. You can’t beat that...We do our part and they have done theirs. Let’s hope people go and watch both movies. I think Friday-Saturday or Saturday-Sunday. I’ll be going and watching that movie for sure.”
Saif Ali Khan stated, “Yeah, go watch both the films.” Meanwhile, according to Hindustan Times, Ponniyin Selvan has advance booking sales of about Rs 17 crore for Friday. This surpasses Kamal Haasan's blockbuster Vikram's Rs 15-crore milestone as the highest grossing Tamil film of the year. Additionally, it is estimated that the movie has received roughly 1.3 million dollars (almost Rs. 10 crore) in overseas advance bookings.
Coming back to PS I, the film is a cinematic adaptation of author Kalki Krishnamurthy's Tamil novel of the same name which was released in the form of a series during the 1950s. It marks the third collaboration of Aishwarya with south actor Vikram after their critically acclaimed film Raavan in 2010.
