His wife Shalini ( Amala Paul ) becomes an authoritative, nagging wife who controls him. Raghuvaran is also dismissive about his wife getting a job. Vasundhara ( Kajol ), chairman of a big construction company in South India, makes Raghuvaran a job offer, but he refuses. This offends her and she begins to go after him, placing one obstacle after another. Here the actor for the story turns to be star for stardom. Later Raghu bags a 600 crore project with an Illaiyaraaja song and faces an another villainous person, Prakash ( Saravana Subbaiah ), a greedy businessman who wants to build a theme park in a marshy land. Other elements that complete the film include soapy sentiments, the Jallikattu protests and the Chennai floods.

Arivazhagan Andrews as news reader Production Development After their 2014 film, Velaiilla Pattadhari, Velraj and Dhanush worked on the production of Thangamagan ( 2015 ), which was initially widely reported to be a sequel to their previous film. During the production stages of the film, Dhanush denied that this was the case and confirmed it was a different script. Later on, in mid-2016, Dhanush 's sister - in - law, Soundarya Rajinikanth agreed terms with producer S. Thanu to make a romantic drama film titled Nilavukku Enmel Ennadi Kobam and cast Dhanush in the lead role. Despite negotiations with actresses including Sonam Kapoor, Kajal Aggarwal and Manjima Mohan, the project failed to materialise, and in a sudden turn of events, Dhanush revealed that he would instead collaborate with Soundarya for a sequel to his earlier film Velaiilla Pattadhari. The film was revealed to be co-produced by Thanu and Dhanush, while the latter would also write the script of the film. Sean Roldan was signed to replace Anirudh as the film 's composer, while the theme music composed by Anirudh was retained in the new project. During the launch event of the film, it was announced that Sameer Thahir would work as the cinematographer, while Prasanna GK would be the editor. Casting Casting for the film began in late 2016, with several members of the original cast including Amala Paul, Samuthirakani, Vivek and Hrishikesh retained for the sequel. Saranya, whose character died in the first film, was also selected to portray a role in the film. Hindi film actress, Kajol, was also selected to play a pivotal role in the film, which marks her comeback into Tamil cinema after nearly 20 years. Filming Production on the film began on 15 December 2016, with actor Rajinikanth in attendance at the launch event in his family 's Poes Garden home in Chennai. The team filmed a promo song in Mumbai, choreographed by Bosco and Ceasar. Filming ended in April 2017. Release The film was originally planned to release on 28 July 2017, coinciding with Dhanush 's birthday, but was postponed to 11 August 2017.
