The latest is that Selvaraghavan spilled a bean on his future plans about the sequels while addressing the media on June 19. The director reportedly stated that he will first be directing ‘Pudhupettai 2’ before ‘Aayirathil Oruvan 2’. According to our sources, both films are expected to hit the screens in 2024. He is expected to start the works for the sequels after the release of 'Naane Varuven'.
'Pudhupettai' is a trendsetting gangster drama in Tamil cinema, which featured Dhanush in his infamous role of Kokki Kumar while Sneha and Sonia Aggarwal played the female leads. 'Aayirathil Oruvan' is a historical fiction revolving around three voyagers locating the lost city and bloodline of the Cholas starring Karthi, Andrea and Reema Sen.
