Mani Ratnam is undoubtedly one of the sensational filmmakers in the South. He also enjoys big popularity in Hindi. His pan-India film Ponniyin Selvan was released on Friday and became a big box office flop.

There are doubts about the director's next film, which happens to be the second part of Ponniyin Selvan now. There are many speculations that the film might not take off immediately. Although the film opened well at the box office, there are many negative comments that the film generates boredom and the viewers are sleeping in theatres.

However, the director might not have second thoughts about the film, as it is his dream project. Most likely, Mani Ratnam might take some more time to fine-tune the script for the sequel. As of now, there is no confirmation if the film is being put on hold.
