CHENNAI: Actor Richard Rishi is collaborating with director Mohan G again for Draupathi 2. The actor is all set to essay the role of a king in the historical drama.
“Embodying King Veera Simha Kadavarayan in Draupathi 2 has been a career-defining transformation. This isn't merely acting, it's breathing life into Tamil Nadu's blood-soaked legacy of bravery and sacrifice.
Mohan G's vision for the film transcends cinema; it’s a resurrection of history. Working with him again after the original Draupathi feels like returning to battle alongside a trusted commander,” he said.
Talking about the cast of the film, the actor added, “Sharing screen space with Rakshana Induchoodan, Natty Natraj, and Vela Ramamoorthy elevates every scene.
Draupathi 2 isn't just a movie, but a revisiting of the buried past of our ancestors' war cry reborn.“
On the technical front, Ghibran is composing the music, while Philip K Sundar is handling the camera. Devaraj takes care of cuts, and Netaji Productions is backing the project.
Draupathi 2 is slated to hit the screens on January 23.
