Chennai, March 21 Actor Bharath, who plays the lead in director Sri Senthil's eagerly awaited upcoming film 'Kaalidas 2', has now revealed that the sequel to the popular hit film released in 2019 will be an emotional crime thriller.
Participating in the trailer launch event of the film, Bharath said, "This is definitely not a typical crime thriller. It's an emotional drama. This film has a lot of depth. The reason 'Kaalidas 1' was appreciated by the media and critics was because it showed the emotional side of a police officer. Similarly, there are two types of crime: organized crime and emotional crime. 'Kaalidas 2' is based on an emotional crime. In both the films that I have played a cop, I haven't shouted at anyone, haven't raised a gun, or used a machete. I haven't delivered any dramatic dialogues. You will be able to enjoy the same subtlety in this film that you saw in 'Kaalidas 1'," he said.
The actor said, "We started this franchise in 2019. 'Kaalidas' was released in 2019 and became a huge success. After that, there was a gap of two and a half years due to Covid 19. When a film is successful, it opens up different opportunities for both the director and the lead actor. Big production houses and big stars approach the director. Similarly, big production houses and directors approached me. When that happened, I took the opportunity to work on other films."
However, Bharath said that he had always wanted to work again with director Sri Senthil.
"Deep down, I was determined to work with this director again. I didn't have 'Kaalidas 2' in mind then, but I wanted to work with director Senthil again. He is one of the best technicians. He is very sincere, and actors can trust him. If you have a good director who understands the craft, you are set for that film. Senthil is one such director," he said, addressing the director sitting in the audience, "I am fortunate to have you in my life."
Bharath continued, "When I was going through a difficult period in my life, 'Kaalidas' turned out to be a huge support for me. It was literally a comeback film for me. When we started 'Kaalidas 2', we wanted it to be a compact crime thriller, and we started it that way. But it became a bigger film because of the producers. They have given everything that this film needed, and even more. This is a big film for me, and I have faith in it. I am sure it will be a success."
The film, which is the second installment in the superhit franchise 'Kaalidas', has been produced by Five Star K.Senthil and Dr. N. Yogeshwaran. Written and directed by Sri Senthil, who was also the director of the immensely popular first part, 'Kaalidas 2' will feature Ajay Karthi alongside Bharath.
The film will also feature a host of actors including Bhavani Sre, Sangita, Abarnathi, Ananth Nag, TM Karthik, and 'Singam' Jayavel.
