Production

Selvamani began working on Pulan Visaranai 2 in November 2005, a sequel to his 1990 film, and cast Prashanth in the leading role of the investigative cop.^[1] He revealed that the idea had come to him in the early 2000s and Vijayakanth's unavailability had meant the film only materialised after a delay. Prashanth underwent strength training for the venture, while beauty pageant winner Medha Raghunathan was briefly signed on to play the lead female role, before opting out again.^[2] The film progressed slowly, also a result of Prashanth's marital problems, and reports in May 2007 suggested that Rowther was unhappy with the film's content and felt the film lacked a proper storyline unlike the previous version.^[3]

Soundtrack

The soundtrack was composed by Joshua Sridhar.

• Idhu Thanneera - Karthik, Vasundara Das
• Ennai Kandu - Joshua, Karthik, Mathangi
• Karuppo Sivappo - Suchithra, Swarnalatha
• Manaseegamanavale - Karthik, Shalini
• Sozhavanthan - Karthik, Anuradha Sriram

Release

The film ran into problems during its censor in April 2008, with the committee highlighting twenty six objectionable scenes. Selvamani subsequently appealed and compromised by agreeing to remove controversial dialogues and a sequence which involved an actress depicting Indian tennis player Sania Mirza.^[4] The producer subsequently accepted an "A" certificate for the film, with the soundtrack releasing the following week. The team also revealed that the film would be released the following month, though this proved to be untrue.^[5] Prashanth indicated that the film was delayed due to producer's financial problems.^[6] In January 2015, Selvamani announced that the film will be released on 30 January.^[7]

The film was released on 30 January 2015 after a long delay.^[8] The film received mixed reviews. Times of India wrote: "The visuals lack sheen, the editing is jerky and at times disorienting, actors' voices change perceptibly in the same scene with someone else dubbing over the lines which include facts and figures, and there is an unmistakable late 80s ethos in the filmmaking".^[9] New Indian Express wrote: "The film may not have the best of scripts going. But what it does is provide enough of thrills to keep one engaged for the most part".^[10]
