Lead actor Arulnithi noted: "In ‘Demonte Colony 2’, I had the interesting opportunity to portray a double role, with Srini's character continuing from the first film and the introduction of Raghu, who is stylish and carefree—a stark contrast to Srini's persona. Playing these distinct roles presented a significant challenge, but I am proud of my performance.
“The positive response we received in theatres was incredibly rewarding, and I’m hopeful that this enthusiasm will carry over to our digital premiere. I’m excited for a broader audience to experience the depth and contrast of these characters on ZEE5 Global."
The highly anticipated sequel not only honours the legacy of the original film but also elevates it with innovative horror sequences and fresh twists.
