'Kaithi 2' plot may explore Dilli's past and relationships
The story of Kaithi 2 is rumored to explore Dilli's life before he went to prison and his bond with Adaikalam, played by Harish Uthaman in the original. This speculation is based on a scene in Kaithi where Adaikalam identifies Dilli while they are both in prison. However, official confirmation on the plot details of Kaithi 2 is still awaited.
