Mahesh Kumar, who found success with his directorial debut, Ayogya, is most certain to come out with a sequel, especially since the film, starring Sathish Ninasam and Rachita Ram, was declared as one of the most popular movies of 2018. Mahesh has locked the script for the sequel and is ready to get the project on the road.

However, shooting will not begin until he finishes his committment with Madagaja, a film starring Sriimurali and produced by Umapathy. Ayogya 2, in all likelihood, will be his third film. “The Ayogya sequel is surely going to happen. Sathish and I have been in discussions for the same. The script is ready, and will take off exactly from the last scene of Ayogya. The whole team, including heroine Rachita Ram, will be part of the sequel,” he says.

Meanwhile, Mahesh is also said to be directing a film for Bazaar hero, Dhanveerah and the latest speculation is that the director will be teaming up with yet another star for a fantasy film. However, the filmmaker remains tightlipped about this project. “Right now, my concentration is on Madagaja. I will talk about my other projects, at the right time,” he says.
