Sardar 2, the much-awaited sequel to the blockbuster spy thriller Sardar, starring Karthi in the lead role, has confirmed its music director. The makers of the film have announced that Yuvan Shankar Raja, the popular composer and singer, will be scoring the music for the film. This will be Yuvan’s third collaboration with director Ps Mithran, after Irumbu Thirai and Hero. Yuvan will be replacing Gv Prakash Kumar, who composed the music for the first part of Sardar.

Sardar 2 will continue the story of Vijay Prakash, a former police officer who joins a secret spy agency to fight against a powerful enemy. The film is expected to have high-octane action sequences and thrilling twists and turns. The film will also feature Vijay Sethupathi as the main antagonist, who will lock horns with Karthi in an epic showdown. The rest of the cast and crew details are yet to be revealed.

ReviewThe tagline of the film is ‘No guts, no glory’. What we get is all guns and some glory, courtesy Ajith Kumar. Sowmya RajendranVenkat Prabhu’s 2011 heist film Mankatha had an unforgettable Ajith in a white suit, sniffing a pile of cash and exclaiming, “Money, money, money, money!” If it was Rs 500 crore at stake in that film, the figure is much higher in H Vinoth’s Thunivu. Here too, Ajith’s character is out to loot a bank; he’s wearing white but his character is all grey. Not that we know much about this character. Even his name is a mystery. Ajith is a riot as a nameless gangster who uses Michael Jackson’s voice to talk to the police and moonwalks on the bank floor ever so coolly. That’s star power for you. He doesn’t speak much but when he does, it’s witty one-liners that land well.
