The film is based on B. Jeyamohan's short story Thunaivan and continues the narrative of Constable Kumaresan, played by Soori, who is tasked with arresting Perumal, portrayed by Vijay Sethupathi, a teacher and leader of a separatist group.
Kumaresan is recruited to apprehend Perumal, and the film further explores themes of loyalty, conflict, and the moral dilemmas faced by the characters against a backdrop of societal issues. The sequel is expected to delve deeper into Perumal's character and his motivations, expanding on the events set up in the first part.
Originally planned as a single film, Viduthalai was split into two parts due to its length.
Viduthalai Part 2 features a strong ensemble cast that includes Soori as Constable Kumaresan, Vijay Sethupathi as Perumal Vaathiyaar, Manju Warrier as Perumal's wife, and Bhavani as Tamilarasi, who is Kumaresan's love interest. The film also stars Gautham Vasudev Menon as DSP Sunil.
The soundtrack for Viduthalai Part 2 is composed by Ilaiyaraaja, who also worked on the first part.
Meanwhile, Vijay Sethupathi has been basking in the success of his recently released film titled Maharaja. Directed by Nithilan Swaminathan, the film became one of the most-watched films on Netflix. The film also featured Anurag Kashyap as the main antagonist.
