Vishal’s directorial debut Thupparivaalan 2 to go on floors next month

After multiple delays, the film is finally set to go on floors from November-December. The Sandakozhi actor had a series of meetings with stakeholders in Mumbai. In an exclusive conversation with indianexpress.com, he said, “I was in Mumbai to have a few meetings about starting the filming of Thupparivaalan 2. The film will go on floors next month.” While the first film was firmly set in Tamil Nadu, this time, Kaniyan Poongundran is set to solve a case on a global scale. “We will be shooting in various places like the United Kingdom, Malta, Azerbaijan, and Malaysia,” revealed Vishal.
