Parthiban said, “Even after ten years since the release, people still talk to me about Aayirathil Oruvan and I’ve constantly been asked about the film’s sequel. As like every other fan, I am also eagerly waiting for that to happen. But, it depends on various factors. It is not even in the hands of Selvaraghavan. A producer should come forward with a belief to produce the film. Cinema is a business here and with the current hype about the sequel, I am sure the film will have a great opening and collect huge numbers.

But, a producer has to come forward and make the dreams become real. About Ponniyin Selvan, it was definitely disappointing to miss out on the film. If we do any film or any work, it should be completely perfect. I was a part of a few other projects as well and so I couldn’t do Ponniyin Selvan. Despite that, I maintain a good relationship with director Mani Ratnam and that will continue whatsoever.

I had recently seen a five part comic version of Ponniyin Selvan and I sent it to Mani Ratnam and he was confident that he could do the film well.” Parthiban also shared a few details about his upcoming directorial, Iravin Nizhal, which will be made as a single shot film.
