Filmmaker Karthik Subbaraj has hinted at a sequel to the action drama Mahaan. The original film starred Vikram and his son Dhruv Vikram. Subbaraj revealed he has a concept for 'Mahaan 2'. He mentioned the sequel could potentially release around 2027 or 2028. This news has excited fans who are anticipating the return of the father-son duo.
Filmmaker Karthik Subbaraj recently addressed fan queries about a potential sequel to his 2022 action drama Mahaan. The original film starred Vikram alongside his son Dhruv Vikram, telling the story of a school teacher-turned-liquor bootlegger and the conflict with his estranged son.
At an event in Kerala, when asked about 'Mahaan 2', Karthik Subbaraj revealed he has a “small idea” for the sequel and needs to write it out, hinting that the follow-up could release around 2027 or 2028.
'Mahaan' released directly on OTT
'Mahaan' had a direct-to-OTT release due to the pandemic and is now streaming on Prime Video. The film revolves around a father who starts as a school teacher following Gandhi’s principles, but later turns into a liquor bootlegger after life takes a dark turn.
His estranged son is a policeman seeking revenge. Simran, Bobby Simha, Sananth, Vettai Muthukumar, Deepak Paramesh, and Aadukalam Naren complemented the action-packed, emotional confrontational drama well and were well-accepted by audiences.
Karthik Subbaraj’s current projects
After 'Mahaan', Karthik Subbaraj directed 'Retro' starring Suriya. He is now busy with a new indie film featuring lesser-known actors, currently in production in Madurai.
No information regarding the title, cast, crew, or release date of this venture has been revealed. As such, the director switches from making typical thrillers to directing experimental films, leaving the audience in suspense.
'Mahaan 2' expectations
The announcement of initial strategies for 'Mahaan 2' has thrilled viewers of Vikram and Dhruv Vikrama, who appeared together for the first time in the original film. Many fans are already predicting the father-son conflict and the approach the sequel will take to expand the storyline. Karthik Subbaraj's clue has started discussions on the internet. Fans are eagerly awaiting more news and are hopeful that the sequel will have the same high-octane action and emotional intensity as the original.
