Nayanthara-starrer Mookuthi Amman 2 is set to hit theatres on November 6, coinciding with the Diwali festival. The makers announced the release date on the occasion of Vinayaka Chaturthi and unveiled the film’s teaser.
Titled Rise of Mahasakthi, the teaser offers glimpses of a story that connects a mythological past with the present. It shows a kingdom threatened by deadly invaders in the past, while an unknown calamity affects people in the present, eventually leading them to invoke the deity Mahasakthi.
The film is directed by Sundar C, with Nayanthara in the lead. She had played the titular role in the first Mookuthi Amman, which was directed by RJ Balaji and NJ Saravanan.
The sequel has an ensemble cast including Duniya Vijay, Regina Cassandra, Urvashi, Yogi Babu, Myna Nandini, Garuda Ram, Abhinaya, Shruthy S, Singapuli Annavi, VR Swaminathan, Sivakumar S, Sunil Varma Indukuri, Varshini Venkat, Pala Karuppiah, Ananda Adhista Lakshmi, Nitin Sathyaa and Deblina Chaki.
Hiphop Thamizha, a regular collaborator of Sundar C, has composed the music. Gopi Amarnath is the cinematographer, Fenny Oliver is the editor and Rajasekar K is handling the stunt choreography. Venkatt Ragavan has written the screenplay and dialogues.
Ishari K Ganesh is producing the film under the Vels Film International banner. The Diwali release puts Mookuthi Amman 2 among the major Tamil films lined up for the festival period.
