Tamil actor Arya confirms sequel to Sarpatta Parambarai; spills beans about Pa Ranjith's plans

Arya’s Sarpatta Parambarai, a punchy sports drama, was one of the few streamers that impressed us with its blood-splattered storytelling and solid performances in 2021. And now, the sequel we’ve all been waiting for has been officially greenlit.

During a chat with Thi Cinemas, Arya has confirmed that the shooting of Sarpatta Parambarai: Round 2 will commence from August this year. Updating about the upcoming sequel, the actor said, “Sarpatta Part-2 shooting start agidumnu (sic).” Pa Ranjith sir is shooting for Vettuvam at present. So once I finish Vettuvam, Sarpatta 2 will get started.”

Directed by Pa Ranjith, the first part of Sarpatta Parambarai was based against the backdrop of 1970s North Chennai, a cauldron of politicised boxing highlighting the intense rivalry between the Sarpatta and the Idiyappa clans. It was not only an examination of the physical nature of the game, but also an examination of the root social and political factors that led to this culture.

The lead of Kabilan was essayed by Arya, and his spectacular portrayal of the character was lauded. The movie also had an ensemble cast of John Kokken, Shabeer Kallarakkal, Dushara Vijayan, Pasupathy, Anupama Kumar, and Sanchana Natarajan.
