Renowned director Sundar C, currently helming the pan-Indian film Maha Shakthi (Mookuthi Amman 2 in Tamil), featuring Nayanthara in the lead, asserts that the film will go beyond regional boundaries, resonating with audiences across India and beyond.
Known for his expertise in franchise films within Tamil cinema, Sundar C promises that Maha Shakthi will offer breathtaking visuals, high-intensity action sequences, and an emotionally gripping storyline. Expressing his enthusiasm for the project, he remarked, “I believe in making films that entertain, engage, and leave an impact. With Maha Shakthi, we are taking everything to the next level—bigger action, deeper rooted storytelling, and a visual grandeur like never before. This is a film that will truly transcend regional cinema and connect with audiences across India and globally. With Nayanthara leading this franchise, the journey has just begun.”
Although the Tamil version carries the title Mookuthi Amman 2, the makers clarified in a statement that Maha Shakthi is a standalone narrative that marks the beginning of a fresh cinematic franchise. The film is being produced on a grand scale by Ivy Entertainment and Vels Film International, under the leadership of Dr. Ishari K. Ganesh, with a staggering budget of ₹100 crore. A grand muhuratam ceremony was held in Chennai to mark the official launch of the project.
Designed to captivate audiences across India and beyond, the film stars Nayanthara as a divine protector, with Regina Cassandra playing an intense role and Yogi Babu adding a comedic element to the storyline. The ensemble cast also features the seasoned actress Urvashi, alongside Garuda Ram and Ajay Ghosh. Additionally, it was revealed that actor Duniya Vijay will portray the antagonist, bringing a powerful and intense performance that heightens the conflict between good and evil.
Nayanthara, known for her commanding screen presence and acting versatility, is set to portray a powerful divine force, promising to bring both grace and intensity to the role. She shared her thoughts on being part of the project, stating, “Playing this role is more than just a performance—it’s an emotion. Maha Shakthi carries a power beyond cinema, and with Sundar sir’s vision, we are bringing a story that will leave an impact on every audience member. I’m thrilled to be part of this grand journey.”
Dr. Ishari K. Ganesh, the producer of Vels Film International, emphasized the ambitious vision behind the film, saying, “At Vels Film International, we have always pushed the boundaries of storytelling and scale. Along with Ivy Entertainment, we wanted to bring a film that is deeply rooted in our culture but speaks to audiences everywhere. Maha Shakthi is not just another grand production; it’s a phenomenon that will redefine commercial cinema and take Indian films to an even bigger global stage.”
