'Sarpatta Parambarai 2': All about Pa Ranjith-Arya's sports drama
In an unexpected development, Kollywood actor Arya took to Instagram on Monday to confirm that the sequel of the acclaimed boxing drama Sarpatta Parambarai is on the cards. Helmed by visionary filmmaker Pa Ranjith, the film was released in 2021.

Why does this story matter?

In the end, the audience praised the movie's complex characters and the layered boxing drama.
Ranjith shared the announcement post with a catchy caption
The celebrated filmmaker took to his social media to announce the upcoming project. Along with sharing a poster of the upcoming project that read Sarpatta Parambarai Round 2, the post carried a catchy caption that read, "Kabilan returns for honor and glory #Sarpatta2 coming soon."
