Meanwhile, Goodachari 2 is directed by Vinay Kumar Sirigineedi, who worked as an assistant director on the first film.

The note of appreciation reads, "5 Years of Goodachari. A film that brought back the spy genre to South Indian cinema. A film that broke barriers. A film that became a trendsetter. Goodachari enjoys a fanbase that continues to shower us with so much love everyday. This increases the responsibility on the franchise and we are hard at work to give you a blockbuster action spectacle on a grand scale. Our goal isn't just to give you a thrilling action extravaganza. It is to bring you a G2 beyond expectations. A G2 doesn't just go National, it will go international. With pre production happening in different countries, we can't wait to go to the sets soon. Agent 116 will report for duty."
