We told you earlier that Keerthy Suresh will be the leading lady of the Vishal-starrer Sandakozhi 2. The latest we hear is that Hareesh Peradi plays one of the three villains in the film. A source close to the film's unit confirmed that he's on board. The source also adds, "Varalaxmi Sarathkumar plays the wife of one of three brothers (the villains) and will be seen in a powerful role." 

Recently, a huge set was created at Binny Mills resembling Madurai, where the introduction song was shot with thousands of junior artistes. Produced by Vishal Film Factory, Sandakozhi 2 is directed by Lingusamy. Veteran actor Raj Kiran is also being retained from the original. Yuvan Shankar Raja will score the music.

There's also buzz that Sathyaraj will replace Malayalam actor-producer Lal, who played the baddie in the original. However, official confirmation is awaited.
