After the release and a positive response to PS-I, the makers are eyeing a Summer 2023 release for the second part, as per trade analyst Taran Adarsh. "'PS1' SATELLITE, DIGITAL WILL INCREASE FANDOM, HYPE 'PS2'... The producers are now evaluating the post-production schedule of #PS2... Going forward, the digital and satellite release of #PS1 will help increase the fandom, which, in turn, will create a solid ground for #PS2 (sic)," he wrote in his tweet for Ponniyin Selvan.
