“‘PS2’ ARRIVES SUMMER 2023… #PS2 is targeting a Summer 2023 release… The exact date will probably be locked in the next couple of weeks,” he added.
PS-1 is a cinematic adaptation of author Kalki Krishnamurthy’s Tamil novel of the same name, which was released as a series during the 1950s. The big-budgeted film was released worldwide in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada and Malayalam.
