- The production said post-production work is proceeding as planned and that composer Anirudh Ravichander is still working on the background score.
- The studio released a new poster showing Rajinikanth with the tagline “Alappara Kelapparom” and has rolled out a teaser and the promotional song “Ala Bolelo” to build momentum.
- Reports of possible reshoots followed claims that Rajinikanth had expressed dissatisfaction with some footage, but the makers described those accounts as incorrect and kept the release timetable intact.
- The sequel reunites Rajinikanth with director Nelson Dilipkumar and an expanded cast that includes cameo appearances reported for Vijay Sethupathi plus SJ Suryah, Ramya Krishnan, Yogi Babu and Vidya Balan, and it is being positioned to capture the Dussehra box-office window after the first film’s major success.
