The makers of director Mohan G Kshatriyan’s historical action drama ‘Draupathi 2’ have recently unveiled the first look poster of actor Chirag Jani as Mohammad Bin Tughlaq, much to the excitement of fans and film enthusiasts.
Director’s Enthusiasm
Sharing the poster on his X timeline, Mohan G Kshatriyan expressed his excitement: “Terror Wears A Crown. Unveiling the Delhi Sultanate #MohdBinThugluq… @JaniChiragjani nailed it. Roaring as First-Level Antagonist.”
Building Anticipation
The film has sparked significant interest among audiences. Set as a grand multilingual period film rooted in 14th-century South India, ‘Draupathi 2’ has recently completed its post-production and received a ‘U/A’ certificate from the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC).
Sources from the film unit indicate that ‘Draupathi 2’ will feature three formidable villains, with Chirag Jani designated as the primary antagonist.
Chirag Jani’s Role
Discussing the casting of Chirag Jani, director Mohan G remarked, “Chirag portrays Mohammad Bin Tughlaq, not simply as a villain, but as a layered ruler whose brilliance often clashed with the consequences of his own choices. I wanted an actor who could convincingly bring together physical gigantism and intellectual brilliance. History remembers Tughlaq as an ‘intelligent fool,’ and capturing that contradiction requires tremendous control. Chirag immersed himself completely; he brings menace, dignity, calculation, and emotional depth to the role. He doesn’t just act the character; he lives it, and that presence lifts the film.”
Star-Studded Cast
‘Draupathi 2’ features Richard Rishi in the lead role, with Rakshana Indusudan as the female lead and Natti Natraj in a pivotal part. The ensemble cast also includes Y G Mahendran, Nadodigal Barani, Saravana Subbiah, Vel Ramamoorthy, Siraj Johnny, Dinesh Lamba, Ganesh Gaurang, Divi, Devayani Sharma, and Arunodayan.
Production Team
The film has been produced by Chola Shakkaravarthi (Netaji Productions) in collaboration with G.M. Film Corporation. It boasts cinematography by Philip R. Sundar, music by Ghibran Vaibodha, action choreography by Action Santosh, choreography by Thanika Tony, editing by Devaraj, and production design by Kamalnathan. Dialogues for the film have been penned by Padma Chandrasekhar and Mohan G.
