Chennai: Mani Ratnam’s “Ponniyin Selvan II” has earned Rs 100 crore at the global box office, the makers said on Sunday.
The second part of the lavishly mounted feature film hit the screens on Friday in Tamil along with the dubbed versions in Hindi, Kannada, Telugu and Malayalam.
Madras Talkies, Ratnam’s production house, shared the box office numbers on its official Twitter page.
“Conquering hearts and box office alike! #PS2 garners over a 100 crore collection worldwide. #PS2RunningSuccessfully,” the banner said in the tweet.
