It is not clear whether Velaiilla Pattadhari will be the continuation of the first part or the sequel will be made with a fresh story. However, it will be a bilingual movie made in Tamil and Telugu.
Coming to Soundarya Rajinikanth, she made her directorial debut in her father Rajinikanth's Kochadaiiyaan, which bombed at the box office. The young filmmaker, who is now seeking divorce from her husband Ashwin, is ready for her second directorial film with huge hopes of delivering a hit at the box office, thereby creating an identity for herself in the industry.
