Actress Kajol returns to Kollywood after nearly two decades with Dhanush’s VIP 2, which was wrapped last month and is gearing up for a summer release. Last seen in Arvind Swami starrer Minsara Kanavu, she’s playing a character with negative shades in Soundarya Rajinikanth-directed VIP 2, a sequel to 2014 blockbuster Vela Illa Pattathari. The film, jointly produced by Dhanush and Kalaipuli S. Thanu, will also be released in Telugu.
In his latest interview to Times of India, Dhanush said he was in awe of her energy throughout the course of the shoot. “Kajol ma'am is full of energy. Her energy is so infectious that it motivated people to work with the same enthusiasm. She is a very friendly and warm person. We had a great time working with her."
He also said the second part will have its own surprises. "The sequel will be as exciting as VIP. But you can't compare both these films. It has its own elements and I am sure it will be as successful as part one."
VIP 2 has retained Amala Paul, Vivek, Saranya Ponvannan and Samuthirakani from the first part. Kajol, who plays the role of an arrogant industrialist, is pitted against Dhanush in the film. Sean Roldan, who won the hearts of music lovers with Dhanush's directorial debut Power Paandi, is scoring the tunes for the project.
