Director Ajay Gnanamuthu made his debut with the superhit horror film Demonte Colony (2015), starring Arulnithi, Ramesh Thilak, Sananth, and Abishek George.

A sequel to the film was announced, for which Ajay returns as the director.

The makers of Demonte Colony 2 officially announced on Wednesday that the film will be released on August 15. This is the fourth film to hit theatres on this date, while Prashanth's Andhagan, Vikram's Thangalaan, and Keerthy Suresh's Raghu Thatha are already in the fray.

In an earlier conversation with CE, Ajay shared that the sequel will be a full-fledged horror film, unlike the first part, which had light-hearted moments in the initial portions. He also added that knowledge of the original film's events is necessary to fully enjoy the sequel.

Demonte Colony 2 also stars Priya Bhavani Shankar, Antti Jaaskelainen, Tsering Dorjee, Arun Pandian, Muthukumar, Meenakshi Govindarajan, Sarjano Khalid, and Archana R.

The horror thriller has music by Sam CS and cinematography by Harish Kannan. Demonte Colony 2 is produced by Bobby Balachandran in association with Vijay Subramanian's White Nights Entertainment and RC Rajkumar's Gnanamuthu Pattarai.

Arulnithi was last seen in Kazhuvethi Moorkkan (2023), and Ajay Gnanamuthu last made Cobra (2022), starring Vikram in the lead.
