In the first part, the makers brought in Malayalam and Kannada stars like Mohanlal and Shiva Rajkumar for cameo roles, while Bollywood actor Jackie Shroff also made a guest appearance. For the sequel, they’ve now roped in Nandamuri Balakrishna for a powerful cameo. Additionally, SJ Suryah and Fahadh Faasil have joined the cast, while Mohanlal and Shiva Rajkumar are also returning to reprise their roles, according to a source.
With Balakrishna joining the cast in an extended cameo, expectations for the Telugu version of this Tamil film are soaring. “The makers believe that Balakrishna’s presence will significantly boost the film in Telugu markets. That’s why the director created a strong role specifically for him,” said the source.
Reportedly, Balakrishna is charging a hefty Rs 20 crore as his remuneration for this extended cameo. The returning cast from the first installment includes Ramya Krishna as Rajini-kanth’s wife and Yogi Babu and Mirna Menon, who will continue their respective roles.
