The makers of Kumki 2 unveiled the second single, titled 'Hey Kurunjiye', on Wednesday. Composed by Nivas K Prasanna, it is a soothing melody crooned by R Sivatmikha. Mohan Raj has penned the lyrics for the track, which features young kids and their encounter with Mother Nature.

Previously, the makers unveiled the first single, 'Pothi Pothi', a melody which is also crooned by the composer. The song, which describes the bond between a man and his animal, an elephant, is penned by Mohan Raj.

The film features Mathi, a debutant actor, in the lead role. The supporting cast includes Sreeda Rao, Andrews, Arjun Das, Akash, Hareesh Peradi, and Srinath, among others.

In an earlier interview with CE, Prabu Solomon, who is returning to direct the sequel after the critically acclaimed first part, mentioned that Kumki 2 will respect children and childhood. "Kids these days no longer draw a river and a mountain; instead, they draw characters with guns. That is very much reflective of how we as a society are not drawing a line on what children need to consume and what not to.  Kumki 2 will take children on an adventure that often unfolds inside their heads." He also added that apart from the title, Kumki 2 is in no way related to the first film he made in 2012.

On the technical side, Prabu Solomon is reuniting with his Sembi collaborator Nivas K Prasanna, with lyrics by Prabu and Mohan Rajan, cinematography by M Sukumar, edits by Buvan, and art direction by Vijay Thennarasu.

The film is presented by Dr Jayantilal Gada (Pen Studios) and produced by Dhaval Gada. Director Prabhu Solomon’s original Kumki was a blockbuster that continues to be celebrated even 13 years after its release. Building on the emotional core of that film, he returns with Kumki 2, which once again explores the themes of love and the pure, unconditional bond between a young man and a magnificent elephant.

While the film is scheduled to hit theatres on November 14, the Madras HC recently ordered an interim stay on the release of the film.
