Anushka Shetty and Karthi in Kaithi 2? Here's the Truth!

Talk around Kaithi 2 is heating up. With Karthi set to return as Dilli, fans are already pumped for what comes next. But the real stir began when reports claimed Anushka Shetty might be joining the sequel. It didn’t take long for the buzz to take over social media. The idea of her playing Dilli’s wife, in a more grounded, bold role, added fuel to the fire. Still, there’s no official word from the makers yet, just speculation for now.

The rumor started with a report from Asianet, suggesting Anushka’s role would be significant and far from just a supporting face. And that’s not all. There’s also talk about Kamal Haasan and Suriya returning as Vikram and Rolex, tying in the larger Lokesh Cinematic Universe. If these casting choices fall into place, Kaithi 2 could be more than just a follow-up; it might become one of the biggest crossover events in South Indian cinema.

This won’t be the first time Anushka and Karthi share screen space. They’ve worked together before in Alex Pandian, with Anushka also making appearances in Saguni and Thozha. Their pairing has always had a certain energy, and if Kaithi 2 brings them back, it could bring a deeper layer to Dilli’s journey, one that isn’t just about action, but personal stakes too.

On the other side, Anushka isn’t slowing down. Her next film, Ghaati, set for release on July 11, 2025, dives into the world of cannabis smuggling. Directed by Krish Jagarlamudi and co-starring Vikram Prabhu, the film follows a woman forced into the trade who ends up becoming a legend. Whether or not she’s part of Kaithi 2, Anushka’s path looks as strong as ever—quiet on the surface, but loaded with impact.
