If there is one Indian psychological thriller that consistently ranks among the best across listicles, it is the Tamil film Ratsasan. Directed by Ram Kumar and headlined by Vishnu Vishal, Ratsasan, which was released in 2018, continues to be celebrated by fans for its gripping plot, eerie suspense, and haunting subplots. Since its massive success, fans have been eagerly waiting to know whether a sequel will be made. Now, Vishnu Vishal has shared new details about it, sparking excitement among fans. Here’s what the Gatta Kusthi actor has to say about 2.
Ratsasan 2 Update: Vishnu Vishal Opens Up About the Sequel
In a recent interview with Galatta, Vishnuu Vishal spoke about on the sequel opportunities he missed in his career and revealed his thoughts on taking up Gatta Kusthi 2. “While there have been opportunities to make a sequel for many of my films in my career, none of them materialised. For example, we had ideas for Indru Netru Naalai 2, Mundasupatti 2, Ratsasan 2, and even FIR 2. FIR 2 was the only sequel from my production banner, but due to some reasons, we couldn’t take it forward. When every sequel was getting missed, I became very upset,” he said.
Ratsasan stars Vishnu Vishal in the lead
He went on to say that if Gatta Kusthi 2 does well, it could give an opportunity for sequels like Ratsasan 2, Indru Netru Naalai 2, FIR 2, and Mundasupatti 2. Ratsasan went on to become a commercial success. It was remade in Telugu as Rakshasudu starring Bellamkonda Sreenivas and in Hindi as Cuttputlli starring Akshay Kumar in the lead.
