Dhanush and his filmmaker brother Selvaraghavan are set to reunite for the Tamil magnum opus Aayirathil Oruvan 2. The announcement was made via a special poster. The project is being slotted for release in 2024.

The film is a sequel to Selvaraghavan’s critically acclaimed Tamil epic Aayirathil Oruvan (2010), which starred Karthi, Andrea Jeremiah and Reema Sen.

Selvaraghavan shared the news with a post in Tamil on Twitter along with the announcement poster.

Replying to his brother’s tweet, Dhanush wrote: “A magnum opus! The pre production alone will take us a year. But a dream film from the master @selvaraghavan! The wait will be long. But we will give our best to make it all worth it. AO2... The Prince returns in 2024 (sic).”

Dhanush and his brother are teaming up for the fourth time. Their previous collaborations were Kadhal Kondein (2003), Pudhupettai (2006) and Mayakkam Enna (2011).

Interestingly, this new project also marks the reunion of the brother with music composer Yuvan Shankar Raja and cinematographer Aravind Krishna.

The film, which marks the maiden collaboration of Dhanush and Karthik Subbaraj, has been shot predominantly in London apart from a few other places in the United Kingdom.

Dhanush recently completed shooting for Mari Selvaraj’s Karnan (2021). He also has films with directors Karthick Naren and Ram Kumar in the offing apart from Aanand L Rai’s Atrangi Re (2021).
