Vels Films International’s Ishari Ganesh took to the stage to reveal that Nayanthara is undergoing a special fasting for a few weeks now ahead of the shooting of Mookuthi Amman 2. With Nayanthara playing the titular role, Ganesh said that she was taking part in this ritual because she was playing a goddess. He also revealed that Nayanthara did the same for the first part, which was a direct-to-OTT release, and is available on Jio Hotstar.

The producer also revealed that the film will be made on a very high budget, and it will be not just a pan-Indian movie, but will have a worldwide release on a grand scale. Mookuthi Amman 2 will see a complete overhaul on the crew front as Sundar C is bringing his core team to work on the sequel. While actor-musician-composer Hip Hop Tamizha Adhi has been signed as the music director of the sequel, which marks his second collaboration with Nayanthara after Imaikka Nodigal, another Sundar C regular Gopi Amarnath will be serving as the cinematographer.

The grand muhurath event, which involved huge sets of a temple, had the who’s who of Tamil cinema dropping in to wish the team. Nayanthara, who normally doesn’t attend the inaugural pooja of her films, was part of the event, which also had actors like Khushbu, Meena, Ravi Mohan, and the cast and crew of Mookuthi Amman 2 in attendance.
