2015 saw the coming together of Director Balaji Mohan, known for his sensible romantic comedies like Kaadhalil Sothappuvathu Yeppadi and Vaayai Moodi Pesavum, and the national award winning actor Dhanush, with the massy gangster story with loads of comedy, Maari.
While the film performed decently at the box office, Balaji later went on to make a web series, and Dhanush proceeded with his other commitments, but this year, they have joined hands, for the sequel of Maari, Maari2, which has a whole new casting and crew as well, with Anirudh replaced by Yuvan Shankar Raja.
It has now been revealed that shoot of the movie went at a rapid pace, and as the shooting is stopped currently due to the industry shutdown, at the moment the makers have already completed 40% of the shoots.
Inside sources now revealed that, the team has decided to use Kajal who did the female lead in the first part for a small cameo. But she is yet to give her nod and if so, her part will be canned soon. The movie, starring pimple beauty Sai Pallavi, Varalaxmi Sarathkumar, Krishna and Tovino Thomas, is eyeing a July end release.
