Maari 2 is the sequel to Dhanush's Tamil hit Maari and will be simultaneously shot in Tamil and Telugu as a bilingual. The project marks Balaji Mohan's second collaboration with Dhanush. The first film starred Kajal Aggarwal opposite Dhanush. Maari 2 is expected to go on the floors from October.
Malayalam actor Tovino Thomas has been signed to play the antagonist. "After Tharangam and Maradona, this will be my third collaboration with Dhanush. I'm really excited to be part of the project. I'm looking forward to start working on this project," he told news agency IANS.
Of casting Dhanush in Maari, director Balaji Mohan earlier said, "I have been Dhanush's fan right from his first film. I've always liked him as an actor as well as a star. The way he carries himself in both unconventional as well as commercial roles is amazing. Maari, in a way, is exactly how I have always wanted to see Dhanush onscreen," Balaji told IANS.
Actors Robo Shankar and Vinod, who were a part of the first film are also part of Maari 2.
