The entertainer went on floors with a small pooja ceremony last month. Now, we have news that the first schedule of the shoot has been wrapped. Talking to a leading media house in the state, director R. Ajay Gnanamuthu expressed his gratitude to his team for their coordination and hard work, which facilitated the wrapping up of the shoot in a short period. The production team which is currently at rest will soon begin to shoot for the second schedule. The tagline of DeMonte Colony 2 ‘Vengeance of the Unholy’ has attracted a lot of attention, and has engineered high expectations on the venture. It looks like there would be no correlation between the first and second parts. As in the first part the lead character played by Arulnithi will be dead in the end. Or will there be a twist in the tale? DeMonte Colony was shot extensively on the colony with the same name which is situated in Alwarpet. Post the release of the drama many youngsters from all around the city began to flock to the place, and the police had to ban the entry of trespassers into the colony.
