Shooting began in July last year and has now been successfully completed.
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.
