'Trying to match Bahubali?' Ponniyin Selvan' teaser sparks Tamil vs Telugu cinema feud

India TV News  

After the much-anticipated teaser of Mani Ratnam's 'Ponniyin Selvan' took the internet by the storm recently, it has now sparked a war of words between Tamil and Telugu cinema fans, as the movie is being compared to SS Rajamouli's magnum opus, 'Bahubali'. While 'Bahubali' fans have boasted that the VFX of the Prabhas-starrer movie were much better, others have pitched for 'Ponniyin Selvan', sharing that the Kollywood industry "can do wonders as well". A user who wrote in support of 'Ponniyin Selvan I', said it was Kollywood answer to Bahubali. Meanwhile, teaser of 'Ponniyin Selvan' portrayed magnificent locations of the ancient era as the Cholas were seen fighting valiantly amid a power struggle in the 10th century.
