Viduthalai marks Soori's debut as lead actor. In a recent interview on the sidelines of Garudan promotions, Soori said that he is expecting the second part to be released sometime in August or September and added that the shooting for the film is still left. "The film has become bigger and there are many artists in the film, including Manju Warrier mam, Samuthirakani and Kishore. As far as I know, Viduthalai 2 will be thrice bigger and grander than Viduthalai,” he added.

In Viduthalai, Soori plays the role of Kumaresan, a newly-recruited cop put in-charge to capture a revolutionary leader played by Vijay Sethupathi. While the first part had a limited screen space for the latter, the sequel is expected to have more portions featuring Vijay Sethupathi. Apart from them, the film also features Bhavani Sre, Gautham Menon, Rajiv Menon, Chetan and others.
