Actor-turned-politician
Kamal
Haasan
is
a
busy
man,
balancing
both
the
politics
and
cinema
in
a
methodical
manner.
Albeit
the
political
career
is
yet
to
see
the
scrupulous
trails,
his
moral
uprightness
and
futuristic
vision
seem
to
be
the
ones
that
Tamil
Nadu
ecosystem
so
solemnly
requires.
Being
capable
of
multitasking,
his
commitment
to
the
film
industry
is
always
admirable.
His
movie
Vishwaroopam,
which
had
a
fragmented
release
in
2013
owing
to
the
heavy
controversies,
garnered
critical
acclaims
from
all
over.
The
movie
had
a
cliffhanger
ending
and
ever
since
then,
the
craze
for
part
2
never
subsided.
The
first
look
of
the
sequel
was
unveiled
on
May
2,
2017,
and
the
official
trailer
was
released
for
the
public
on
June
11,
2018,
in
all
the
three
languages
in
which
the
movie
is
going
to
be
released,
namely
Tamil,
Hindi
and
Telugu.
Kamal
Haasan
has
once
again
taken
the
role
of
director
for
this
sequel
and
will
be
reprising
his
character
as
the
RAW
Agent
Major
Wisam
Ahmad
Kashmiri.
The
Tamil
trailer
was
made
public
by
his
actor-musician
daughter
Shruti
Haasan
and
has
crossed
over
3
Million
views
in
just
one
day.
Aamir
Khan
and
Jr
NTR
launched
the
Hindi
and
Telugu
trailers,
respectively.
Actor-director
Kamal
Haasan
spoke
during
the
trailer
launch
and
expressed
his
thoughts
and
views
about
the
film
and
its
team
as
follows.
"Raaj
Kamal
Films
International
has
always
been
upright
and
delivers
films
for
the
audience
in
a
righteous
way.
This
principle
applies
to
Vishwaroopam
2
as
well."
"The
reason
for
the
film's
delay
cannot
be
fixated
on
the
production
department
or
any
other
person
on
the
team.
You
(the
people)
know
very
well,
the
reason
behind
the
first
part's
delay
and
unfortunately,
we
encountered
similar
issues
this
time
also.
This
sequel
has
done
justice
to
the
first
part
and
can
be
considered
not
only
as
a
sequel,
but
also
a
prequel
to
the
first
part."
"The
film
will
allow
you
to
connect
to
it
in
a
deeper
way
and
I
take
this
moment
to
congratulate
the
composer
Ghibran
for
his
soulful
music
and
pulsating
BGM
throughout
the
movie.
Vishwaroopam
2
will
be
released
worldwide
in
thousands
of
screens
and
I
feel
happy
to
say
that
the
opening
for
this
film
(with
respect
to
the
number
of
prints)
will
be
at
par
with
the
Hollywood
standards."
The
star
cast
of
this
film
includes
Shekhar
Kapoor,
Waheeda
Rehman,
Rahul
Bose,
Pooja
Kumar,
Anant
Mahadevan,
Nasser,
Andrea
Jeremiah
and
Jaideep
Ahlawat.
The
film
is
scheduled

release
on
August
10,
2018.
