Featuring a powerhouse cast including Vijay Sethupathi, Soori, Manju Warrier, Gautam Vasudev, Rajiv Menon, and Anurag Kashyap, the movie promises to captivate audiences with its gripping storytelling and powerful performances.

‘Viduthalai Part 2’ picks up immediately after the events of the first film, delving deeper into the consequences of Perumal’s arrest.

Played by Vijay Sethupathi, Perumal’s character undergoes a profound exploration through flashbacks, revealing his transformation from a humble school teacher to a revolutionary leader. His life story, marked by sacrifice and ideological struggles, unfolds as he narrates it to a group of policemen during his transfer.

This account has a profound impact on constable Kumaresan, portrayed by Soori, who finds himself caught in a moral dilemma.
