“There’s a lot of graphics work is involved in Vishwaroopam 2, hence the delay. It will only release after Uttama Villain, which should be out very soon,” a source told IANS.

The film also features Jayaram, Andrea Jeremiah, Pooja Kumar and Haasan’s mentor K. Balachander in important roles. The film is directed by famous Kannada actor Ramesh Arvind.
