Saamy 2 is still on: Shibu Thameens

The film, directed by Hari, was among his career-best and catapulted him to a different league in 2003.

The audio launch of Anand Shankar’s Iru Mugan turned out to be one of the most memorable events this year for Vikram, as he announced that he will be part of the sequel to Saamy. The film, directed by Hari, was among his career-best and catapulted him to a different league in 2003.

It was stated that Saamy 2 would also be directed by Hari and producer Shibu Thameens would be chipping in the money. A couple of weeks back however, rumours about the film being shelved started doing the rounds!

When DC contacted Shibu, he denied them — “These are baseless rumours and I don’t know how to react to this at all. Saamy 2 is still on and Hari along with team are holding discussions regarding the film’s script. But, we haven’t finalised the cast and crew of the movie.”

Also, a source close to the director revealed, “We are fine-tuning the script and the film may go on floors from April 2017.” Music director Harris Jayaraj has been signed on to compose the tunes for this venture.

Currently, Vikram has two projects in hands -— an untitled film with Gautham Menon and a commercial entertainer with Vijay Chandar of Vaalu fame. Gautham’s project will start rolling from the second week of January, but it is unclear when Vikram will start shooting for Vijay Chandar. He is expected to commence Saamy 2 after completing these two films.
