Chennai, Jan 8 (NationPress) According to industry insiders, director Mohan G's highly anticipated Tamil-Telugu historical piece, 'Draupathi 2', is confirmed to grace the screens this Pongal.

A source associated with the film's production stated, "The film is definitely set for a Pongal release. It will premiere on one of the festival days. The team is finalizing the specifics, but it is definitely coming for Pongal."

Initially, the filmmakers considered a release on January 23 due to other significant releases like actor Vijay's 'Jana Nayagan' and Sivakathikeyan's 'Parasakthi'. They even contemplated a later release before the month concluded.

The narrative is said to take place in the 14th century, focusing on the reign of Hoysala emperor Veera Vallalar III and the bravery of the Kadavarayas of Sendhamangalam, alongside the tumultuous changes brought about by the Mughal invasion of Tamil Nadu.

Alongside Richard Rishi and Rakshana Induchoodan, actor-cinematographer Natti Natraj will portray a pivotal role.

The cast also includes Y. G. Mahendran, Nadodigal Barani, Saravana Subbiah, Vela Ramamoorthy, Siraj Johnny, Dinesh Lamba, Ganesh Gaurang, Divi, Devayani Sharma, and Arunodayan, further enhancing the film’s historical depth and dramatic impact.

The film is backed by a talented technical crew, with Telugu dialogues crafted by Samrat and music composed by Ghibran Vaibodha.

Cinematography is handled by Philip R. Sundar, while Thanika Tony is responsible for choreography.

Action sequences have been designed by Action Santosh, and editing duties fall to Devaraj, with Kamalnathan overseeing art direction.
