Detective Sai Srinivasa Athreya’s Back, No Clue to Lack!

Detective Sai Srinivasa Athreya might soon be back on the case. After the unexpected success of the 2019 mystery-comedy Agent Sai Srinivasa Athreya, plans for a sequel are now in motion. While the official announcement is still pending, the team has started early work on the story and screenplay. For fans of the character and his quirky style, this is a promising sign that his adventures are far from over.

The first film, directed by Swaroop RSJ and co-written with Naveen Polishetty, followed a small-time detective from Nellore who ends up tangled in a murder case. It balanced humor and suspense in just the right proportions and found love from both critics and regular viewers. What made it stand out was how grounded and sharp it felt, without relying on formula.

Now, the makers are working on a new story, with a fresh case and possibly higher stakes. While Naveen Polishetty is expected to return, the plot won’t be a continuation but something different in tone and scale. The aim is to recreate the cleverness and charm of the first film, not just ride on its success.

No release timeline has been given, but the buzz itself is a sign that this detective isn’t done yet. If the sequel manages to keep the same mix of wit and tension, Agent Sai Srinivasa Athreya 2 might just crack another winning case at the box office.
