Bichagadu
movie
was
a
sensational
hit
in
the
year
2016.
The
movie
starring
Vijay
Antony
in
the
lead
was
written
and
directed
by
Sasi.
Produced
by
Vijay
Antony
himself,
the
movie
has
Satna
Titus
in
the
female
lead's
role.
Bichagadu's
success
prompted
the
makers
to
dub
the
film
into
Telugu,
where
it
garnered
praise
and
became
successful
commercially.
The
movie
made
a
profit

has
wrapped
shooting
part
quite
a
long
time
ago
and

been
waiting
for
the
right
time
to
hit
the
screens.
It
was
earlier
scheduled
to
release
in
the
second
half
of
2022
but
due
to
many
other
movies
lined-up,
the
makers
withdrew
from
the
race.
Eventually,
they
want
a
good
time
to
come
out
with
the
film
where
there
is
no
competition
or
comparison.
According
to
the
latest
news,
it
is
rumoured
that

is
gearing
up
for
a
theatrical

of
2023.
Directed
by
priya
Krishnaswamy,
the
sequel
depicts
Vijay
Antony
in
an
antagonist's
role
called
'Bikili.'
His
look
from
the
film
went
viral
on
the
internet
and
gave
rise
to
a
trending
hashtag
'Anti-Bikili',
a
few
months
ago.
