Producers Priyanka Dutt (who is also Nag Ashwin’s wife) and her sister Swapna Dutt from Vyjayanthi Movies confirmed this at the Moscow Film Festival. They shared that filming will begin in the next five or six months, likely in January or February 2025.
Some parts of Kalki 2 were already shot during the making of the first movie, and work on the sequel is currently ongoing. The sequel will focus more on the character Yaskin, played by Kamal Haasan, who is the villain in the story.

Now that we’ve seen how it all came together and how much the audience loved it, we’re more confident and ready for part two.”
