Dhanush all set to start Maari 2

The sequel to Dhanush-starrer Maari will go on the floors soon. Director Balaji Mohan has completed the scripting work for the film and has given the final draft to actor Dhanush.

In Maari, Dhanush played a lungi-clad, moustache-twirling local don. "He will reprise the same role in the sequel. The team is waiting for Dhanush to grow back his handlebar moustache for the film," the source said.

When asked about the cast and other aspects of the film, the director says, "I can’t reveal anything as of now, since the film is in a nascent stage."

However, Balaji assured that the film would start rolling at the start of 2017, and fans can expect it to release by the end of the year

"Writing it itself was so much fun for me �� @dhanushkraja #Maari2���� Excited!�� #hewillbeback #donudonudonu #senjiruven," posted Balaji Mohan.

"Guess what I got :) final draft of Mari 2 script from @directormbalaji !! #hewillbeback #donudonudonu #senjiruven," said Dhanush.
