Sarpatta Parambarai Round 2 filming begins, Arya returns
The Story in Brief
Actor Arya confirmed on Monday, 28 September, that shooting for Sarpatta Parambarai Round 2, the follow-up to Pa Ranjith's 2021 boxing drama, has begun in Chennai. Arya shared a poster of a boxing ring on social media, writing, 'The origin of Sarpatta Parambarai begins.' The film is expected to be a prequel, set in the 1940s and 1950s, with a set erected in Ambattur to recreate the era.
Pa Ranjith returns as director after completing Vettuvam, set for release in December 2026. The first film, released on Prime Video in 2021 due to the pandemic, earned critical acclaim. Sources differ on cast details: The Times of India names Kabilan as Arya's role, while 123telugu and TrackTollywood say Dushara Vijayan, Pasupathy, John Kokken and Shabeer Kallarakkal will reprise their roles. 123telugu also reports Santhosh Narayanan is expected as composer. More details are awaited.
