The ‘Sarpatta 2’ shooting has officially kicked off in Chennai, with a massive set erected in Ambattur.

‘Sarpatta Parambarai 2’ explores the origins of the story

Unlike a conventional sequel, ‘Sarpatta 2’ is said to explore events that take place before the story of the first film. The project is being developed as a prequel, taking the narrative back to an earlier period in the history of the Sarpatta Parambarai universe. The film is expected to expand the world created by Ranjith in the first instalment and introduce audiences to the origins of the characters and their boxing culture. Details about the complete plot and the characters are being kept under wraps.

Pa Ranjith returns with Arya for a new boxing drama

The first ‘Sarpatta Parambarai,’ released directly on Amazon Prime Video in 2021, became a major talking point for its boxing sequences, performances and recreation of North Chennai. Arya played Kabilan, while Dushara Vijayan, Pasupathy, John Kokken, John Vijay and Shabeer Kallarakkal were among the cast. The new film is set against the backdrop of 1940s and 1950s Chennai, according to reports. The period setting is expected to bring a different visual world to the boxing saga, with the new Ambattur set being used to recreate the era. With filming now underway, ‘Sarpatta 2’ marks the next step in Ranjith and Arya’s return to the much-loved boxing universe.
