While a sequel to Sarpatta Parambarai was announced over three years ago in April 2023, director Pa Ranjith made an official announcement on X earlier today, sharing that part two of the film has finally gone on floors.
"The origin of Sarpatta Parambarai begins. #SarpattaParambaraiRound2 #SP2" the post read. The period sports film is headlined by Arya, who most recently appeared in the political thriller Ananthan Kaadu.
Ranjith, who helmed the first installment, is all set to resume the directorial reins for the sequel as well. The director recently finished working on Vettuvam — an ambitious sci-fi action-drama headlined also by Arya and co-starring Sobhita Dhulipala — which is eyeing a December 2026 release.
On Monday, Arya, who will be returning as Kabilan in the sequel, took to X to share the official commencement of the film. He shared a poster featuring a rusty boxing ring and a large audience surrounding it.
In an interview last year, Ranjith spoke about what audiences can expect from the film, stating: "I can't reveal if it is a sequel or a prequel. But the era of the film is interesting. I am planning to make it a political drama. Having said that, the story will also have the elements that people loved in the first part, such as the boxing scenes and other characterisations."
Set in Chennai in the 1970s, Sarpatta Parambarai centered on a clash between two boxing clans, charting the rise of an underdog boxer played by Arya. As for the sequel, no details about the plot, storyline or technical crew have been announced.
