Director Ponram has finally put an end to long-standing speculation by officially confirming Varuthapadatha Valibar Sangam 2, a sequel Tamil cinema fans have been eagerly waiting for. The filmmaker shared the update during an interview given as part of the promotions for his upcoming film Kombuseevi, starring Sarath Kumar and Shanmuga Pandian. The announcement quickly sparked excitement online, with Sivakarthikeyan’s fanbase leading the celebrations.

However, Ponram made it clear that the second part will not simply pick up where the original left off. Speaking to Galatta, he revealed that the project is already in progress and that the script is complete. He explained that the story has been reworked to suit Sivakarthikeyan’s current stature in the industry. Rather than a direct continuation, the narrative has been shaped keeping in mind the actor’s growth, star image and expanded fan following. Ponram added that filming will begin once everything falls into place and Sivakarthikeyan gives his final nod.

Alongside the sequel, Ponram also disclosed that he is working on another new project, which will be a full-fledged comedy. He said an official announcement regarding this film will be made soon.

The Ponram–Sivakarthikeyan collaboration has previously delivered popular films such as Varuthapadatha Valibar Sangam, Rajini Murugan and Seemaraja. Meanwhile, Ponram's Kombuseevi is gearing up to open in theatres on December 19.

Meanwhile, Sivakarthikeyan has a packed slate ahead. He is awaiting the release of Parasakthi, followed by a Sudha Kongara directorial scheduled for Pongal 2026. The actor is also set to begin work on a new film under Venkat Prabhu’s direction.
