The film features an ensemble cast that includes S.J. Suryah, Malavika Mohanan, Ashika Ranganath, Yogi Babu, and Rajisha Vijayan. Music is composed by Sam C.S., further building anticipation for the film.
Bigger scale and strong buzz following the teaser release
Like its predecessor, 'Sardar 2' is a gripping political thriller but is said to be made on a much larger scale.
A teaser released on actor Karthi's birthday recently received an overwhelming response online. The film was initially planned for a Deepavali release this year, but it is now likely to hit theaters in December 2025. Since Suriya's 45th film, helmed by RJ Balaji, is set for a Diwali release, Karthi's film has decided to avoid a box office clash between brothers, leaving the way open for the senior.
A tragic accident during the shoot causes a temporary delay
Production wasn't without challenges.
A tragic accident occurred during the shoot when stuntman Elumalai fell from a height of 20 feet and lost his life. The unfortunate incident caused a brief delay in filming and drew significant attention within the industry.
Karthi gears up for 'Kaithi 2' after wrapping up 'Sardar 2'
With 'Sardar 2' completed, Karthi is preparing to begin work on 'Kaithi 2,' directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj. The film will go on floors after the release of 'Coolie,' Lokesh's upcoming film with Rajinikanth. As the first Kaithi launched the Lokesh Cinematic Universe (LCU), its sequel is among the most awaited projects in Tamil cinema.

Malavika Mohanan All Set To Join Karthi In Bangkok For 'Sardar 2' Shoot
This phase in Bangkok is anticipated to be dynamic, featuring high-octane sequences and the shooting of a special song. A source close to the project confirmed, 'Malavika Mohanan will head to Bangkok in the first week of June for the next schedule of Sardar 2 with Karthi. The team will also film a special song during this period." Sardar 2 is her next Tamil collaboration with a major star, already generating buzz for its gripping plot and scale. However, this is just part of the picture. Malavika's rising pan-India appeal is evident from her upcoming projects, which include three major films across different industries — The Raja Saab with Prabhas in Telugu, Hridayapoorvam with Mohanlal in Malayalam, and Sardar 2 with Karthi in Tamil. These films have strong potential to perform well not just regionally but across India, because of its star power. Apart from her work, Malavika often makes headlines for her bold statements on crucial matters. During a recent interview, Malavika spoke about persisting gender disparity and said that it never really ended. Expressed her anger at the situation, the actor told Hauterrfly, 'I don't think this disparity has ever ended in the film industry. I also think that men have really gotten smart, and I have seen this in a lot of male actors, suddenly, in the last 5–6 years, they know how to put on the mask of being woke." She further called them out by saying, 'They know exactly what lines to say that make them come across like a feminist, as a very forward-thinking person, someone who treats women as equals. And I have seen them go back from the public eye and become the most misogynistic person ever. It's hypocrisy." Malavika Mohanan's Filmography Malavika began her acting journey in 2013 with the Malayalam film Pattam Pole, where she starred alongside Dulquer Salmaan. Her breakthrough came with Beyond the Clouds (2017), which brought her wider acclaim. Since then, she has featured in a string of notable films across Malayalam, Tamil, and Hindi cinema, including The Great Father (2017), Petta (2019), and Master (2021). This year, she has exciting lineup of films for release.
