Can't wait to be Maari again: Dhanush

Directed by Balaji Mohan, "Maari 2" also stars Sai Pallavi. The Tamil action-comedy film marks Balaji's second collaboration with Dhanush after "Maari".

In 'Maari', Dhanush played a dhoti-clad, moustache twirling local rowdy and he was paired with Kajal Aggarwal, who won't be a part of the sequel.

CHENNAI: Actor-filmmaker-singer Dhanush says he cannot wait to be Maari, a character he enjoyed and cherished playing in the upcoming Tamil comedy "Maari 2".

Dhanush on Friday tweeted that the shooting for the film has concluded.

"And that is a wrap for 'Maari 2'. Loved being Maari once again. Cannot wait to be Maari again. A character I enjoy and cherish playing," he tweeted.
