Jayam
Ravi,
the
versatile
actor,
is
all
set
to
join
hands
with
his
elder
brother,
the
popular
filmmaker
Mohan
Raja
once
again.
The
actor-director
brothers
are
teaming
up
for
the
seventh
time
in
their
careers,
for
the
sequel
of
the
blockbuster
movie
Thani
Oruvan.
As
per
the
latest
reports,
the
project,
which
has
been
titled
as
Thani
Oruvan
2,
will
start
rolling
in
February
2021.
The
sources
close
to
the
project
suggest
that
director
Mohan
Raja
has
already
finished
the
scripting
for
the
project.
The
team
is
currently
busy
with
the
other
pre-production
activities.
The
makers
were
originally
planning
to
kickstart
the
shooting
of
Thani
Oruvan
2
by
the
second
half
of
2020.
But
now,
the
film
is
slated
to
go
on
floors
in
February
2021,
considering
the
novel
coronavirus
pandemic.
As
reported
earlier,
Jayam
Ravi
will
reprise
his
much-loved
character
Mithran
IPS
in
the
sequel.
Nayanthara,
the
leading
lady
of
Thani
Oruvan,
is
also
expected
to
reprise
her
character
in
the
project.
The
actress
had
played
the
role
of
Mahima,
a
forensic
officer,
and
Mithran's
love
interest,
in
the
movie.
The
project,
which
is
an
action
thriller,
is
also
expected
to
bring
back
all
the
major
faces
of
its
prequel,
except
the
antagonist
Arvind
Swami.
Even
though
the
makers
have
not
revealed
any
details
regarding
the
theme
of
the
second
installment,
the
sources
suggest
that
the
sequel
will
have
a
stronger
antagonist.
Some
of
the
leading
names
of
the
South
Indian
film
industry
are
said
to
be
in
consideration
for
the
role
of
the
main
antagonist
in
Thani
Oruvan
2.
An
official
update
on
the
project
is
expected
to
be
revealed
very
soon.
