Maari 2 will once again feature Dhanush as the film’s lead.


Sai Pallavi joins the Maari 2 cast as the heroine.


In addition, actor Varalaxmi Sarathkumar is set to play a crucial role alongside Dhanush and Sai Pallavi. 


Pandigai star Krishna Kulasekaran is included in the cast for a vital role. 


Malayalam actor Tovino Thomas has been cast as the villain in the film. 


Composer Yuvan Shankar Raja is heading back to scoring music for a Dhanush film after nearly a decade.
