Directed by Balaji Mohan, Maari 2 also featured Tovino Thomas, Varalaxmi Sarath Kumar and Krishna in key roles. Unlike the first part, the sequel failed to click at the box-office. However, audiences lapped up Rowdy Baby song which was extremely well received in theatres.

Dhanush had two releases this year. His first release was Asuran, in which he played dual roles and was seen for the first time playing a much elder character. His second release of the year was Gautham Vasudev Menon directed action-thriller Enai Noki Paayum Thota, which ended up as a box-office dud.
Dhanush currently awaits the release of upcoming Tamil film Pataas. Interestingly, he has essayed dual roles in Durai Senthil Kumar directed Pataas as well. The film also stars Sneha and Mehreen Pirzada as the leading ladies. If everything goes as planned, Dhanush will commence work on Ranjhanaa 2 next year with Anand L Rai.
