While Maari by director Balaji Mohan is definitely not a groundbreaking cinema, the film’s light hearted take on local rowdyism and the unique look combined with great music made the film a super hit. It created a cult following that Maari 2 is now in the making and Dhanush is expected to join the shoot soon.

Robo Shankar who has come a long way from television to movies is now on the top of his career. He has been roped in once again to play the hero’s sidekick in Maari 2. The film’s comedy quotient with Kajal Agarwal and Robo Shankar was one of the hit elements which is being redone with the new film in an more extravagant manner.
