All about Viduthalai Part 2

B. Jeyamohan's short story Thunaivan is adapted in Viduthalai Part 2, which was co-written by Vetrimaaran and Jeyamohan. Vetrimaaran transformed the one-part film into a two-part franchise. Last year, the first instalment was shown in theatres. In addition to receiving excellent reviews, it brought in Rs 40 crore at the box office. R Ramar is the editor, R Velraj is the cinematographer, and Ilaiyaraaja is the composer of the music.

 

Viduthalai Part 2 will be released in theatres on December 20 and stars Soori, Manju Warrier, Gautham Vasudev Menon, Rajiv Menon, and Bollywood director-turned-actor Anurag Kashyap. At the box office, it will, therefore, compete with the Tamil adaptations of Barry Jenkins' Hollywood animated adventure picture Mufasa: The Lion King and Kalees' Bollywood action movie Baby John, which stars Varun Dhawan.
