Chennai, Jul 31: The makers of director P.S. Mithran's much-awaited spy thriller Sardar 2, starring Karthi in the lead, on Friday released the film's action-packed teaser ahead of its worldwide release on September 10.
Production house Prince Pictures shared the teaser on its social media handles with the caption: "The Hunt just got Bigger and Rules don't apply anymore. #Sardar2Teaser arrives in style."
The teaser opens with a high-octane action sequence aboard an aircraft before introducing actor S.J. Suryah, who appears to play the film's antagonist.
Demanding "pin-drop silence", Suryah's character poses a riddle about two spies -- a father and a son.
"There are two spies. A father and a son. The father is rugged, strong and highly intelligent. The son is a cool guy, but he is tough. The show might be theirs, but I am the show stealer because I am their target," he says as a montage of action sequences unfolds.
He then adds, "Technically, I am the good guy. They are the bad guys. The question is who is going to win this fight? Is it the good villain or the bad heroes?" The teaser concludes with Suryah saying, "Come. Let's do Salsa!"
The film has generated considerable anticipation since the success of the first instalment and is scheduled for a worldwide theatrical release on September 10.
The production team completed shooting in Bangkok in June last year. Actress Malavika Mohanan had earlier revealed during an interaction with fans that she would wrap up her portions for the film in June 2025.
The makers had also completed 100 days of shooting in April last year.
Director P.S. Mithran had earlier confirmed that dubbing work for the film was being carried out simultaneously with post-production.
A promotional video released while announcing the sequel had shown Karthi's character being assigned a spy mission to Cambodia. Mithran later revealed that while the story begins in Cambodia, it subsequently shifts to China.
A prologue released by the makers last year confirmed that S.J. Suryah plays the principal antagonist, a character named Black Dagger.
On the technical front, Sardar 2 has cinematography by George Williams, music by Sam C.S., editing by Ruben and production design by K. Kadhir. The action sequences have been choreographed by Dhilip Subbarayan, while the story has been written by M.R. Pon Parthipan, Roju Bipin Ragu and Geevee.
