Vijay Sethupathi and Trisha, who captivated audiences with their performances in the 2018 film 96, might soon reunite for a sequel. Director Prem Kumar recently shared in an interview that a sequel to the beloved film is in the works. Kumar, who initially had no intention of creating a follow-up, revealed that the original film’s success has continued to inspire fans and led to the development of a sequel. The script for this much-anticipated sequel is already complete, and production will begin as soon as Vijay Sethupathi and Trisha’s schedules permit.
The original 96, a critically acclaimed Tamil film, was remade in Telugu as Jaanu, featuring Sharwanand and Samantha in the lead roles. The film’s deep emotional impact and storytelling earned it a special place in the hearts of audiences, which likely contributed to the decision to create a sequel.
Vijay Sethupathi, who is currently enjoying the success of his latest film Maharaja, is also involved in several other high-profile projects. He is set to appear in Released 2, Ace, and Gandhi Talks. Additionally, he is serving as the host of the eighth season of Bigg Boss Tamil, further showcasing his versatility and popularity.
Trisha, on the other hand, is busy with a range of upcoming films. She is working on Vishwambhara, Thug Life, Ram, and Identity. Her diverse roles across these projects reflect her continued prominence in the Indian film industry.
Director Prem Kumar is also focused on his new film Meyalagan, which stars Karthi and Arvind Swamy. The film is scheduled to release on February 27 and will be available in Telugu under the title Satyam Sundaram. Kumar’s upcoming projects and the anticipated sequel to 96 continue to generate excitement among fans and critics alike.
