The theatrical response to the Ilaiyaraaja musical, Viduthalai 2, was largely positive, although its preachy tone was not to everyone’s liking. The film was a commercial success, though. Viduthalai was Vetrimaaran’s maiden collaboration with both Soori and Vijay Sethupathi. The two-part film is an adaptation of the short story Thunaivan by writer Jayamohan. Like the first part, Viduthalai 2 also had its premiere at the International Film Festival of Rotterdam, before hitting theatres back home in India on December 20, 2024.
