Murugadoss spoke up in a recent interview and confirmed that he had Thuppakki 2 in his mind even when he directed the first film.

Murugadoss Reveals His Original Plan for Thuppakki 2
In a recent interview abp, Murugadoss revealed that he had originally thought about making a second part while shooting Thuppakki. He said, “Just 25 days after the release of 7aum Arivu, I began shooting for Thuppakki. At first, I only narrated the story of the first half to the producer and Vijay sir. It was only while filming the hospital scene that I told Vijay about the climax. After wrapping up each day’s shoot, I would go back to my room and write the next day’s scene. Even without much pre-production, the film became such a huge blockbuster hit, and that gave me a little pride.”
"#Thuppakki is the film which I want to do part-2 from my Filmography💥. The film ended in a halfway that @actorvijay went to vacation & i kept that intentionally for part-2🤞. Sathyan character also speaks that Dialogue👀"

The director continued, “ I already had the idea of creating a sequel. In the climax, Vijay’s character goes back to the army, while his family remains here. That ending was deliberately designed so that the story of what happens when he comes back on his next vacation could be told as the second part.”

Will Vijay Return to Cinema for Thuppakki 2?
Adding to the buzz is Vijay’s current situation. The actor officially announced his retirement from cinema last year, with Jana Nayagan, directed by H. Vinoth, being his final film. He is concentrating exclusively on politics and preparing for the 2026 Tamil Nadu assembly elections. Nevertheless, fans remain hopeful that he could return to films if something does not work out the way he wants in the 2026 assembly polls.
"I immediately went for #Thuppakki shoot as soon as #7AmArivu released. During shoot only written 2nd half & Climax. As Thuppakki became Blockbuster, i thought became master in Art. Even #Kaththi was done like that. Later it become negative for me"
