AR Rahman and Mani Ratnam in London to work on background score of PS 2

After the stupendous success of Ponniyin Selvan Part 1, the audience is eagerly waiting for the release of Ponniyin Selvan Part 2. While the makers had shot both parts of the film simultaneously, the work on the post-production is going on in full swing.

The latest we hear is that Oscar-winning composer AR Rahman and director Mani Ratnam have begun work on the background score of the film. They are currently stationed in London.


On Tuesday, Rahman shared a picture with Ratnam where they were posing in front of Abbey Road Studios in London. In the caption, Rahman wrote "PS2 at London #mattydunkley #manirathnam" suggesting that he was busy with the music of Mani's upcoming venture PS 2.

In the picture, Rahman is seen wearing a grey-coloured blazer while Ratman has sported a winter jacket.

PS2 stars Vikram, Trisha Krishnan Karthik Sivakumar, Jayam Ravi, and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan in the lead roles.

The teaser of the PS2 was released in December. The makers unveiled the Hindi version of the first song 'Ruaa Ruaa' on Monday. Penned by Gulzar, the song is sung by Shilpa Rao.

Ponniyin Selvan Part 1 was a cinematic adaptation of author Kalki Krishnamurthy's Tamil novel of the same name which was released in the form of a series during the 1950s.

In the film, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan played dual roles. Queen Nandini, the princess of Pazhuvoor, who is on a mission to seek vengeance, and Mandakini Devi in the historical drama.

The big-budget film was released in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, and Malayalam.

PS2 is scheduled to release in theatres on April 28, 2023.

Euphoria

The series often opts for surface-level provocation, leaving its themes underexplored

'Euphoria' is all sex, drugs and toxic relationships with barely any story left

Highlights

  • Zendaya, Jacob Elordi and Sydney Sweeney return for the third and final season
  • Series leans heavily on explicit themes, with limited narrative depth
  • Four-year time jump reshapes characters but offers little progression
  • Moments of emotional weight remain, but are largely overshadowed

From cultural moment to creative fatigue

When Euphoria first arrived in 2019, it sparked debate for its raw depiction of teenage life, pairing explicit content with striking visuals and a strong emotional core. Its mix of stylised storytelling and difficult subject matter set it apart, while its young cast quickly rose to prominence.

In its third and final season, that balance appears to have shifted. The show retains its provocative tone but offers less of the layered storytelling that once gave it weight.
