Soodhu Kavvum 2: Makers announce a sequel to Vijay Sethupathi's cult film on its 10th year of release

Kollywood buffs know the impact Soodhu Kavvum had created in the industry when it was released in 2013. Nalan Kumarasamy helmed the film which was one of the trendsetters of the last decade in Tamil. It turned out to be a gamechanger for Vijay Sethupathi, Sanchita Shetty, Karunakaran and Simha among others.

Santhosh Narayanan's music, Dinesh B Krishnan's cinematography and Leo John Paul's editing complemented Nalan's quirky screenplay. CV Kumar's Thirukumaran Entertainment had produced the movie which attained a cult status after its release. 

On its 10th anniversary yesterday, CV Kumar has come up with an announcement, leaving film enthusiasts thrilled. He has made it official that Soodhu Kavvum 2 has gone on floors and has unveiled a promo video. Surprisingly. Nalan is not at the helm of the sequel and Vijay Sethupathi isn't part of it. However, this hasn't deterred the interest among cinephiles.

Mirchi Siva is playing the lead while Karunakaran and a few others have been retained in the second part. It isn't sure if the sequel is a spin-off of sorts or deals with a completely different story. Harisha, Radha Ravi, Karunakaran, MS Bhaskar, Ramesh Thilak and Yog Japee will be seen essaying key roles.

Edwin Louis Viswanath is on board to compose music for Soodhu Kavvum 2 while Karthik K Thillai will be handling cinematography. Ignatious Aswin and KK Surendaran are in charge of editing and art direction respectively. SJ Arjun will be wielding the megaphone for the project for which he has penned the story along with T Yogaraja.
