Nayanthara fasts, Sundar C wraps divine sequel

A sequel wrapped filming with its lead actress on a hardcore devotional diet. Production company Vels Film International announced the completion of shooting for Mookuthi Amman 2, a devotional thriller starring Nayanthara and directed by Sundar C. They shared a behind-the-scenes video confirming the project, a follow-up to the original blockbuster, had finished principal photography. The video included comments from cast members like Urvasi, Regina Cassandra, Duniya Vijay, Singam Puli, and Yogi Babu.

The behind-the-scenes clip revealed that this sequel would have no narrative connection to the first film. Director Sundar C noted that over two thousand technicians worked on the movie for more than six months. Actress Urvasi remarked that the shoot felt very quick. The video concluded with a cake-cutting ceremony celebrating the wrap. Producer Ishari K Ganesh previously disclosed that Nayanthara fasted for a month to prepare for her role as the goddess, a practice she also followed for the initial movie.

Ganesh explained that the Mookuthi Amman deity is his family god, which motivated his original backing of the franchise. He stated that Nayanthara was the immediate and only choice for the divine lead role. The producer expressed a desire for a pan-Indian film about the goddess, leading to the decision for a second installment. He labeled director Sundar C, known for successful series, as the ideal person to helm this project. The film has generated substantial fan anticipation since its initial announcement.
