However, C. Prem Kumar, in a recent interview, clarified that the discussions with Pradeep Ranganathan were for a different project and that 96 Part 2 can only be made with the original cast of 96. This has now gone viral.
Following this, some netizens on social media commented that C. Prem Kumar has made a wise decision, as making 96’s sequel with different castings, like the usual Kollywood sequel template, would have made 96 Part 2 a terrible disaster and spoiled the legacy of the first part.

Even though Pradeep Ranganathan is a good actor, he would not be suitable for 96, so it’s a good call from C. Prem Kumar to go with the same casting for the sequel.
96 is one of the best romantic dramas in Kollywood, and since, the 96 Part 2 script update, it has a huge expectation among the audience. It remains to be seen when the 96 Part 2 shooting is going to start and how it’s going to shape up.
