‘Ponniyin Selvan 1’, which became the highest-grossing movie of all time in Tamil Nadu, managed to gross Rs 335 crore in India and Rs 500 crore worldwide.
Based on the 1995 novel series of Kalki Krishnamoorthy, ‘Ponniyin Selvan’ tells the fictionalised story of Raja Raja Cholan and his ascension to the crown. The first part revolved around the early life of Chola Prince Arulmozhi Varman.
Meanwhile, ‘Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani’ will star Ranveer Singh, Alia Bhatt, Jaya Bachchan, Shabana Azmi and Dharmendra.
Karan Johar's last directorial venture for the big screen was 'Ae Dil Hai Mushkil', which hit the theatres back in 2016. The movie starred Anushka Sharma, Ranbir Kapoor, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Fawad Khan.
After that he helmed Netflix's anthologies 'Lust Stories' (2018) and 'Ghost Stories' (2020).
So, it looks like there is going to be a clash of titans at the box office on April 28, 2023, and we definitely can’t keep calm!
