Soon enough, Trisha joined in as well and the team makes it an emotional group hug. The video cut to Jayam Ravi regaining his composure before he jump-landed among the fans. The actor could be seen hugging several fans and shaking hands with a few before the video ended. Karthi's caption to the video read, "What a moment @actor_jayamravi felt so emotional @chiyaan, @Karthi_Offl and @trishtrashers hugged & calmed him. Later, he jumped into the audience with full enthusiasm, & a few lucky fans even managd to a selfie with him #PS2". 

Ponniyin Selvan 2 is reportedly a prequel as well as a sequel to the first installment. PS 2 also stars Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Vikram among other big names who are reprising their roles from the first part. The film franchise has been a long-standing dream for director Mani Ratnam who had attempted to make the film once before, in the late 80s. He eventually realised the dream in 2019. PS 2 is slated for an April 28 release.
