Even though an action-adventurous film, Aayirathil Oruvan 2 has been announced at the beginning of 2021, the movie will take more than three years to arrive in cinemas as it is slated for 2024 release.

Quoting Selvaraghavan's tweet, Dhanush wrote, "A magnum opus !! The pre-production alone will take us a year. But a dream film from the master @selvaraghavan! The wait will be long. But we will give our best to make it all worth it. AO2 ..The Prince returns in 2024".

Talking about the original Aayirathil Oruvan, it starred Karthi, Andrea Jeremiah, and Reemma Sen in the lead with Parthiepan playing a pivotal role. The story of the film revolves around three characters, who embark on an adventure to search for a missing archaeologist. It is inspired loosely by the historical decline of the Tamil Chola dynasty and the rise of the Tamil Pandya dynasty.
