Actor Sasikumar last graced the silver screens in the political satire drama My Lord created by Raju Murugan with actress Chaithra J Achar as female lead. The Nandhan actor is now getting ready for his next release in the digital space via the mystery crime thriller Vadhandhi: The Mystery of Mani. Director Andrew Louis, who was in director’s cockpit for the first edition, has inked and directed the second season as well.
Actress Anagha Maruthora of Kadaisi Ulaga Por fame has depicted the female lead role in the series. The venture was shot across various places in Madurai and Kanchipuram. Vadhandhi is scheduled for release in Amazon Prime Video on 7th of August in languages Tamil, Malayalam, Telugu, Kannada, and Hindi. The makers have been promoting the entertainer by releasing the first look poster and a single from the album on social media. They have now launched the trailer of the series.
Taking to their official X timeline, the team of Prime Video India shared the trailer of Vadhandhi: The Mystery of Mani and wrote, “this time, the real investigation begins after the case is closed.

The two minute trailer of Vadhandhi: The Mystery of Mani opens to the voiceover of actor Sasikumar, “Even animals who kill and devour other animals are unable to commit such an act towards their own kind. Given that, how are humans able to do this?” We then witness a skeleton being dug out to the background voice of Sasikumar saying, “At least those corpses have faces. This is a skeleton on a highway.” Subsequently, we have a judge pronouncing a judgement, “In the case of Mani vs The State this court sentences Mani to life imprisonment.”
The scene shifts to Sasikumar as a cop telling his colleague, “That kid was sentenced because we identified those skeletal remains. We have a role to play in this verdict he received.” Then we have a character describe Mani’s nature, “Turns out the boy would loaf around town with an attitude. As he was a bullfighter and he carried himself with swag, that is how he wooed Nilavathi. He melted her with his sweet talk.”
In a shot actor Sasikumar asks his superior, “But is there any undisputable evidence confirming he is guilty?” He responds, “He did not deny doing it, right? There is your evidence.” Following which actor Sasikumar says, “Lies are like wild bushes. They just keep accumulating like trash. But the truth? That is like a diamond buried deep in the mud. We must dig it out.” The trailer ends with him pondering, “Do I take pride in being a cop? Or do I consider it a . . .”
Earlier, speaking to a leading media house producer Gayatri divulged, “Just like the first season, Vadhandhi season 2 will have a gripping mystery, truth, and red herrings while conveying a story that will be both emotionally compelling and riveting. Director Andrew Louis has built a captivating story that honors the franchise’s roots while steering the narrative in to a bold and exciting new direction. Actor Sasikumar and the entire cast have done a wonderful job bringing true depth to the story.”
