Nine Years Later, the Emerald Still Has Secrets to Tell… ‘Maragadha Naanayam 2’ Unveils Its First Look!

Chennai 09 November 2026 Marking the festival of Diwali, the makers of Maragadha Naanayam 2 have unveiled the film’s first look, more than nine years after the original became a blockbuster hit. Released in June 2017, Maragadha Naanayam was ARK Saravan’s directorial debut. Its cursed emerald, mischievous spirits and laugh-a-minute adventure won audiences over and built a loyal following. The sequel, written and directed once again by ARK Saravan, is now gearing up for release.

Director ARK Saravan says, “Almost all the artistes from the first part return in the first look of Maragadha Naanayam 2: Aadhi, Priya Bhavani Shankar, Nikki Galrani, Daniel Annie Pope, Munishkanth, Arunraja Kamaraj, Anandaraj and Muruganandam sir. How each of them reconnects in this story, and the point at which they all come together, will be a surprise element. The fun, adventure, action and comedy that you loved in the first part will be there in the same mood in the sequel. There are a few more elements that we are not revealing for now. A small glimpse will come in the trailer, and many more surprises will follow when you watch the film. Nikki’s character was special in the first part, and there is something special for her in this one too. The audience will discover it when the film releases.”
