Composer Simon K King is returning for Vadhandhi Season 2: The Mystery of Mani, which premieres on Prime Video on 7 August. He has worked with director Andrew Louis since Kolaigaran in 2019. Simon said Season 1 used extensive Western classical music, while the new season will have a more cinematic and gritty sound. Simon treats music as a character and maps moods, silences, climaxes and cliffhangers across episodes. Season 2 includes two songs, including one for a Karuppusamy festival. He said streaming data, such as viewers reaching later episodes, may indicate music’s impact. His upcoming work includes Prime Video series and the film Red Rose.
