The makers of Sardar 2, Tamil actor Karthi and filmmaker PS Mithran’s much-awaited sequel to their 2022 film, released a special prologue teaser of the film on Monday (March 31).

The teaser opens up with the Chinese authorities attempting to break into a monastery in search of a ‘delegate.’ Inside, we see Karthi, as the titular spy, cutting through a gang of swordsmen before encountering their boss, Cheng. “Sardar, a massive destructive force is approaching your country. All the intelligence agencies of the world are pointing towards him,” says Cheng, as we cut to glimpses of SJ Suryah appear as the antagonist Black Dagger.

“A colossal war is about to break out; save your country and yourself if you can,” warns Cheng, to which Sardar replies, “There’s a famous saying in our country. When the war is upon us, to heck with lives,” before killing the man. When the cops enter the premises, Sardar seems to have vanished into thin air.

The prologue teaser promises an intriguing spy thriller. Sardar, a spy action thriller, featured Karthi in dual roles, as a father and son. It told the story of how a cop, striving hard to rise above the reputation of being a national traitor’s son, learns of his father’s secrets and a bigger conspiracy at play.

The sequel is set to feature Malavika Mohanan, Ashika Ranganath, Yogi Babu, and Rajisha Vijayan in pivotal roles. The first Sardar film starred Rajisha along with Raashii Khanna, Chunky Pandey, Laila, Rithvik, Munishkanth, Avinash, Yugi Sethu and Balaji Sakthivel.

With music scored by Sam CS, the film has cinematography by George C Williams and editing by Vijay Velukutty. The upcoming sequel has a screenplay written by Rathna Kumar, Aashameera Aiyappan, and Vignesh Muniyandi. S Lakshman Kumar produces Sardar 2 under his Prince Pictures banner.
