Karthi’s Kaithi was a smash hit in Kollywood in 2019. The film was a major success in Telugu as well and expanded Karthi’s already strong market in the Telugu states. Lokesh Kanagaraj, who directed this film followed the success of the film with successful Master starring Vijay and Blockbuster Vikram with Kamal Haasan.
Lokesh had earlier announced that the sequel will be made and will be bigger and grander. And now Karthi, during Ponniyin Selvan promotions confirmed that the sequel will go on floors in 2023. He further revealed that the scale and budget of the film will be 10 times bigger.
In an earlier interview, Lokesh revealed a bit about Karthi’s character in the movie. This was what Lokesh had to say about Dilli’s role in Kaithi 2, “Dilli is a Kabbadi player and in jail, he won many cups by playing Kabaddi. In Kaithi, there is a bag with Dilli that contains a lot of cups he won from playing Kabaddi. I didn’t explore this in the 1st part but in Kaithi 2 I will explore this background story”
The pre-production works on the film will begin once Lokesh completes his next project with Vijay. Kaithi sequel is one of the most anticipated projects from Kollywood as it would take forwards the ‘Lokesh Cinematic Universe’. With the Vikram sequel also planned in the coming times, we could actually witness Karthi, Kamal Haasan, and Suriya on screen in a grand conclusion.
