According to an update shared by Gulte, Sarpatta Parambarai 2 is expected to be a prequel to the original film. Reportedly, it will explore the origins of the boxing culture presented in the first instalment.
For those unaware, Sarpatta Parambarai is a 2021 Tamil-language sports action drama directed by Pa. Ranjith, who co-wrote the screenplay with Tamizh Prabha.

As their ambitions grow, they become entangled in shifting power struggles, exposing the complex dynamics that shape their lives and the world around them. Through the journey of these characters, Ananthan Kaadu explores a transformative period and the forces that redefine their destinies.
Looking ahead, Arya is set to co-star alongside Lubber Pandhu fame Dinesh and Sobhita Dhulipala in the sci-fi action film Vettuvam, directed by Pa. Ranjith.
