Bharath Mohan, noted for his directorial work on the heartwarming movie ‘Igloo’ (2019) and the dramatic ‘Ippadikku Kaadhal’ (2024), is expected to bring a fresh vision to the sequel while staying true to the essence that made the original a success.
The first installment of ‘Indru Netru Naalai’ was directed by R. Ravikumar, who is widely known for his work on films like ‘Ayalaan’. Ravikumar will contribute to the continuation of the story in this sequel, promising another thrilling ride through the complexities of time. The film’s narrative is expected to explore time travel themes with creativity and humor, adding another chapter to the time-bending adventures depicted in the first film.

The original story followed two men coming into possession of a time machine, which led to various comedic and chaotic situations. The blend of science fiction with situational comedy led to the film’s widespread appeal and success across demographics.

He is working with director Arunraja Kamaraj, known for ‘Kanaa’ and ‘Nenjuku Needhi’, on an upcoming project. Additionally, Vishal has another film with ‘Idharkuthaane Aasaipattai Balakumara’ filmmaker Gokul in the works. With the success of his last release, ‘Lal Salaam’, directed by Aishwarya Rajinikanth, Vishal continues to be one of the most sought after actors in the Tamil film industry.
The forthcoming sequel is poised to offer new storytelling twists while evoking the charm and inventiveness that made ‘Indru Netru Naalai’ memorable.
