Film
Overview:
Story,
Cast,
and
Technical
Details
Produced
by
Sola
Shakkaravarthi
under
the
Netaji
Productions
banner,
Draupathi
2
is
positioned
as
a
period
action-drama.
According
to
the
makers,
while
set
in
the
present
day,
the
story
travels
back
to
the
14th
century,
a
period
marked
by
political
conflict
in
South
India.
The
film
depicts
a
time
when
the
region
was
caught
between
the
aggression
of
the
Madurai
Sultanate
and
the
authority
of
Delhi
Sultan
Tughlaq,
with
shifting
alliances
and
internal
betrayals
shaping
the
fate
of
kingdoms.
At
the
centre
of
the
narrative
is
Hoysala
emperor
Vallalar
III,
who
seeks
to
protect
his
people
through
diplomacy
and
strategic
alliances
with
smaller
kingdoms.
The
storyline
focuses
on
political
ambition,
power
struggles,
and
interference,
and
how
decisions
at
the
top
affect
both
royal
authority
and
the
lives
of
ordinary
citizens.
The
cast
of
Draupathi
2
includes
Natty
Natraj,

G.
Mahendran,

by

and

by

Sandhosh.
Music
for
the
film
has
been
composed
by
Ghibran,
with
the
soundtrack
released
under
the
Lahari
Music
label.
With
Draupathi
2
now
in
theatres,
online
discussion
around
the
film
is
expected
to
grow
as
more
audiences
watch
it
over
the
opening
weekend.
Clearer
trends
in
audience
response,
along
with
detailed
critical
opinions,
are
likely
to
surface
in
the
coming
hours
and
days
as
the
film
continues
its
theatrical
run.
