Production

Viduthalai was originated to be a single film. However, in July 2022, it was reported that it would be split into two parts due to the film becoming overlong and not wanting to trim the film tampering the story,[8] which was officially announced on Vetrimaaran's birthday (4 September 2022).[9] Both parts were shot back-to-back, with the first part's shooting wrapping up in November, and the film releasing on 31 March 2023,[10] but with the second part still having to shoot a few portions, which resumed in July.[11][12]

Music

The film's soundtrack is composed by Ilaiyaraaja, who also composed the first part. He had composed the songs for the film in his newly launched music studio in Kodambakkam, after his fallout with Prasad Studios where he recorded songs for nearly four decades;[13] It marks his first work being recorded at his new studio where music composition of the film began in February 2021.[14] As of May 2021, Ilaiyaraaja recorded three out of eight songs being planned for the film and are touted to be "situational numbers" as per sources.[15] The music rights were purchased by Sony Music India.

Release

Viduthalai Part 2 is scheduled for a theatrical release in early 2024.[16]
