"Thank you Amma and Appa for blessing the team," Aishwaryaa, who was not part of the puja, wrote on Twitter when she shared pictures:

Aishwaryaa also made an interesting revelation - actress Kajol will also be part of the sequel to VIP. With VIP 2, Kajol will make a comeback to Tamil films after two decades. Kajol's first Tamil project was Rajiv Menon's 1997 film Minsara Kanavu - a romance co-starring Arvind Swamy.
Am so excited and honoured to be working with the @KajolAtUN mam in #Vip2 .... always been such a big Kajol fan #BackInTamilAfter20years

With VIP 2, Dhanush will reprise his role as Raghuvaran, a character who portrayed the transition from an unemployed graduate to a successful civil engineer. In the teaser released in early November, only a silhouetted Dhanush was featured against a sketchy construction site.
