Yuganiki Okkadu which released back in 2010 did not do particularly well at the box office but the film is a big hit on the small screens. The film has a strong fan-base and the director Selvaraghavan’s vision and execution was appreciated by the critics.
Now, Selvaraghavan has announced that he will be directing the sequel of Yuganiki Okkadu. The film is titled Aayirathil Oruvan 2 in Tamil and in all likelihood, it will be simultaneously released in Telugu as well.
“A magnum opus !! The pre-production alone will take us a year. But a dream film from the master @selvaraghavan ! The wait will be long. But we will give our best to make it all worth it. AO2 ..The Prince returns in 2024,” Dhanush tweeted in response to Selvaraghavan’s official announcement.
While the original had Karthi, Andrea Jeremiah, and Reema Sen in the lead roles, the sequel will have Dhanush in the male lead role.
A concept poster of the film was also unveiled and it evokes interest. The film is scheduled to hit the silver screens in 2024. Dhanush will next be seen in Jagame Thandhiram.
