According to the latest reports, the project is progressing steadily, with filming expected to begin in 2028.
The report further stated that Sivakarthikeyan is keen to reprise his role in the sequel. While the makers are yet to make an official announcement, an update on the project is expected in the coming months. Madonne Ashwin made his directorial debut with Mandela, which won the National Film Award for Best Debut Film of a Director, before delivering Maaveeran, one of the notable Tamil releases of 2023.
