Production
As indicated in the prequel, the film will be set in India. Kamal has earlier indicated that the second part will be laced with a strong mother-son sentiment.[6] He stated that 40% of the film was shot during the making of part one.[7]
Due to personal reasons, cinematographer Sanu Varghese opted out of Vishwaroopam II. He was replaced by Malayali Shamdat Sainuddeen who did Malayalam films like director Shyamaprasad's musical Rithu and Shafi's Marykundoru Kunjadu.[8] M Ghibran was signed up to compose the music.[9][10]
The shooting of Vishwaroopam II started in Thailand[11] and the team shot scenes at the Bangkok airbase.[12] The Chennai schedule of the film started on June 13.[7]
Haasan has added Waheeda Rahman & Anant Mahadevan for the sequel in addition to the main cast.[13] While part 1 was a little over 2 hours 20 minutes, the sequel's length will be less than 2 hours.[14]
The crew is currently shooting in Kodaikanal hills.[15] Vishwaroopam II released a new trailer on it in the function of IIFA award.[16][17]
