Dhanush has teamed up with director Balaji Mohan once again while the film will be backed by Dhanush's Wunderbar Productions.

In June, Dhanush was also injured while filming Maari 2 but he had tweeted that it wasn't a major injury and he resumed filming soon.
Dhanush was last seen in Vada Chennai, directed by Vetrimaran and before that in The Extraordinary Journey of the Fakir, which was his first international project. In addition to Maari 2, Dhanush is looking forward to the release of Enai Noki Paayum Thota, co-starring Rana Daggubati and Megha Akash.
