Actor Dhanush’s yesteryear release Maari was super hit. Earlier in the month of August Dhanush and Balaji Mohan confirmed that the sequel of the movie will be made. Dhanush is currently shooting Vada Chennai, directed by Vetrimaaran and Enai Nokki Payum Thotta. He would be soon starting to work on Maari 2, which happens to be the sequel of first part released before 2 years. Balaji Mohan had made an affirmation that the second part will begin from the end of first part.
Earlier in the month of September, it was confirmed that Malayalam actor Tovino Thomas and Sai Pallavi will be playing important roles in Maari 2. It was also said that Tovino Thomas will play the negative role in the movie. Speaking about this film, Tovino Thomas says that he became familiar with Dhanush as he produced a couple of movies in Malayalam for him. “One day, I got a call from Wunderbar Films and thought that they must be approaching me for another Malayalam movie. But I was surprised to hear it is going to be a Tamil movie. When Balaji Mohan narrated me the script, I was completely engrossed. I am sure; my role in Maari 2 will be appreciated by audiences.”
Maari 2 will be separately shot in Tamil and Telugu. Later in the month of December, the team confirmed that the music for Maari 2 will be scored by Yuvan Shankar Raja. It has been almost ten years since Dhanush and Yuvan Shankar Raja worked together after Kadhal Konden.
