Production
editDevelopment
editIn early October 2023, S. U. Arun Kumar, who gained recent popularity from the success of Chithha (2023), was reported to feature Vikram in the lead role for his next directorial.[3] G. V. Prakash Kumar and Theni Eswar were chosen to score the music and handle the cinematography respectively.[4][5] The title Veera Dheera Sooran: Part 2 was announced on 17 April 2024. It was intentionally given that subtitle, reportedly because the makers were planning a prequel with the subtitle Part 1.[6] A separate film titled Veera Dheera Sooran began production some years before but was dropped,[7][8] making the title usable for this film.[citation needed]
Filming
editDT Next reported that principal photography would begin with the first schedule in March 2024 in Tiruttani.[9] However, it began on 17 April 2024.[10] In early-August, the pre-climax portions were shot in Madurai.[11]
Music
editThe music and background score is composed by G. V. Prakash Kumar, in his maiden collaboration with Arun; fourth with Vikram after Deiva Thirumagal (2011), Thandavam (2012), and Thangalaan (2024).[4]
