Vijay Sethupathi’s popular film Viduthalai Part 2 has been keenly anticipated by netizens for its over-the-top (OTT) release. Good news has just surfaced regarding its digital distribution.
As per director Vetrimaaran, Vidhuthalai Part 2 will be bigger and better in the digital version. Yes, the movie will have an extended run time. “The extended version, with an additional hour, will be available on OTT. In the US, we added an extra eight minutes as last-minute edits had trimmed the theatrical cut. Combining both parts, the total footage spans nearly eight hours,” he explained in an interview.
Audiences have praised Vijay Sethupathi’s dominant performance in Viduthalai Part 2 widely. Vetrimaaran, a master storyteller, directed the movie, which debuted in theatres on December 20, 2024.
When Will Viduthalai Part 2 Be Released?
The movie is expected to stream on ZEE5 around mid-January 2025, while the official OTT release date has not yet been determined. Reports suggest that January 17 is the most likely date.
The story of Perumal Vaathiyar (Vijay Sethupathi), who is captured by the police, is explored in Viduthalai Part 2. His transformation from a modest instructor to a revolutionary leader motivated by communist ideas is shown to us through flashbacks. Soori as Kumaresan, Manju Warrier as Mahalakshmi, Kishore as KK (Perumal’s tutor), and Bhavani Sre as Tamilarasi, Kumaresan’s romantic interest, are among the film’s outstanding ensemble cast members.
The renowned Ilaiyaraaja’s heartfelt music enhances the film’s cinematic genius. To maintain its depth and narrative intricacy, Viduthalai, which was originally intended to be a single picture, was divided into two sections. After filming was finished in November 2022, the first installment debuted on March 31, 2023. In July 2024, work on the second installment resumed.
At the Tamil Nadu box office, the film has made over Rs 40 crore.
Tamil film fans will get the opportunity to enjoy Vetrimaaran’s potent narrative in all its splendour when Viduthalai Part 2 premieres on Zee5 on January 17 for those who were unable to see it in theatres.
