Director Samuthirakani had made waves with his 2009 hit flick Nadodigal, a movie revolving around few friends, and the troubles they undergo as they help another friend's love. The movie that starred Sasikumar, Vijay Vasanth, Bharani and Ganja Karuppu was remade in Telugu, Hindi, Malayalam, Kannada and Bengali as well.

A decade later, Samuthirakani is all set to arrive with the sequel to Nadodigal this year. The director had recently revealed that Nadodigal 2 will bear no connection to Nadodigal and that it will be a completely different script with new characters. Reportedly the movie is about caste issues, and the plot revolves around four protagonists who are against caste and what happens when they unite against caste elements in the society.

Inspired by social reformer Jeevanandam, Samuthirakani has named Sasikumar's character after him, while Anjali plays a character named Sengodi after the comrade who sacrificed her life, and the movie also stars Bharani and Athulya Ravi in vital roles. Though the maker had planned to title the movie as Raththam, it was Sasikumar who had suggested the title Nadodigal 2, and the movie is scheduled to release by end of February.
