For the last few weeks, there has been a strong buzz going around in social medias about ‘Vettaiyaadu Vilaiyaadu’ getting a sequel. Director Gautham Vasudev Menon was spotted meeting with Kamal Haasan couple of times which further strengthened the speculations. The director has now confirmed that they are in talks for a second part. Kamal is excited about the plot and Gautham still has a narration with him. An official announcement is most likely to be made in April. Ishari Ganesh of Vels International will be producing the film.

‘Vettaiyaadu Vilaiyaadu’ released in 2006 is till date one of the finest cop films to have been made in Tamil cinema. Gautham Menon’s extremely stylish making reminiscent of the Hollywood investigative thrillers and Kamal Haasan’s brilliant performance as DCP Raghavan made the film stand out from the regular cop films. In the sequel, Kamal will be reprising Raghavan’s role. It remains to be seen if Jyothika, the female lead in the first part, will also be retained. Anushka Shetty is also said to be in talks for the new film.
