Director Karthik Subbaraj recently promoted Neelira, a film he produced, through interviews and events. During one such interaction, he hinted at plans for Jigarthanda 3. This update has quickly gained attention and is trending across social media platforms.
In the interview, the host asked about a sequel to Jigarthanda DoubleX and whether any ideas were ready. Karthik Subbaraj confirmed that he has a concept for Part 3. He also mentioned that the project may take time before going on floors.
The director also revealed that he has completed shooting for his next film. The project features a cast of newcomers and is set in Madurai. However, details about the film are still limited at this stage.
Jigarthanda, released in 2014 and directed by Karthik Subbaraj, was a major success. It established him as a strong filmmaker. Its sequel, Jigarthanda DoubleX, also performed well and received appreciation for retaining the original essence.
Following the announcement of Jigarthanda 3, reactions have been mixed. Some feel a third part is not necessary unless the story is strong. They believe the legacy of the franchise should not be affected by an underwhelming sequel.
Others have pointed out Karthik Subbaraj’s recent film journey. After Jagame Thandhiram and Mahaan, he made a comeback with Jigarthanda DoubleX. However, his film Retro with Suriya did not meet expectations and slowed his momentum.
There is also a view that Jigarthanda 3 could help him regain strong footing. Some believe it could be a key project for his career revival. This has added more focus on the possibility of the sequel.
At present, there is no official timeline for Jigarthanda 3. It remains to be seen when Karthik Subbaraj will begin the project. The film’s success will depend on how well it matches the legacy of the previous parts.
