According to earlier reports, the sequel will focus on Supreme Yaskin (Kamal Haasan), who has now gained the strength for his mission. The film will delve deeper into the journeys of Bhairava and Ashwatthama as they fight to protect SUM80’s unborn child, believed to be the final divine avatar of Lord Vishnu, Kalki.
