The sequel to Mookuthi Amman, titled Mookuthi Amman 2, officially began production with a pooja ceremony on March 6, 2025. Nayanthara returns as the divine goddess, and director Sundar C is helming this grand continuation of the 2020 hit. The film promises to deliver a captivating spiritual fantasy drama with a strong social message.
However, the production recently faced a controversy when reports surfaced of a disagreement between Nayanthara and an assistant director regarding a costume issue. Allegedly, Nayanthara reprimanded the crew member, which led to tensions and caused a temporary halt in filming. Speculation even arose that Nayanthara might be replaced by Tamannaah in the lead role.
Producer Ishari K. Ganesh stepped in to resolve the situation by holding discussions with Nayanthara. After the issue was settled, the team decided to cancel the Pollachi schedule and resumed filming at the Ponniamman Temple in Alapakkam, Chennai. The shoot continued in Nazarathpettai the following day, keeping the project on track.
The film features a talented ensemble cast, including Duniya Vijay, Regina Cassandra, Yogi Babu, Urvashi, Abhinaya, and Ramachandra Raju. Filming is currently underway in Chennai, with plans to complete the Pollachi schedule soon. The team aims to deliver a visually stunning and content-driven film that meets the high expectations of its audience.
