Vikram Vedha and Ponniyin Selvan‘s clash at the box office and added that one could not beat Ponniyin Selvan. “Ponniyin Selvan is a classic text, a story of intrigue set during the Chola Empire. You can’t beat that. It’s a six-volume book I used to read. That text was an inspiration to every writer who came out of Chennai. We’re doing our part, and they’ve done theirs. Let’s hope people start watching both movies. I think Friday-Saturday or Saturday-Sunday. I’m definitely going to watch that movie,” the Hindustan Times quoted the directors as saying.
