Velaiilla Pattadhari 2 (English: The Unemployed Graduate 2), popularly referred to as VIP 2, is an upcoming Indian Tamil-language comedy-drama film directed by Soundarya Rajnikanth. A sequel to Velaiilla Pattadhari (2014), the film has Dhanush, Amala Paul, Saranya Ponvannan and Samuthirakani returning from the first film, other cast including Kajol. Dhanush, besides acting, is also co-producing the film and has written the story and dialogues for the film. The film, which is also co-produced by S. Thanu, has music composed by Sean Roldan and will release in 28 july 2017.
Following the positive response and commercial success of their 2014 film, Velaiilla Pattadhari, Velraj and Dhanush worked on the production of Thangamagan (2015), which was initially widely reported to be a sequel to their previous film. During the production stages of the film, Dhanush denied that this was the case and confirmed it was a different script. Later on, in mid-2016, Dhanush's sister-in-law, Soundarya Rajinikanth agreed terms with producer S. Thanu to make a romantic drama film titled Nilavukku Enmel Ennadi Kobam and cast Dhanush in the lead role. Despite negotiations with actresses including Sonam Kapoor, Kajal Aggarwal and Manjima Mohan, the project failed to materialise, and in a sudden turn of events, Dhanush revealed that he would instead collaborate with Soundarya for a sequel to his earlier film Velaiilla Pattadhari. The film was revealed to be co-produced by Thanu and Dhanush, while the latter would also write the script of the film. Sean Roldan was signed to replace Anirudh as the film's composer, while the theme music composed by Anirudh was retained in the new project. During the launch event of the film, it was announced that Sameer Thahir would work as the cinematographer, while Prasanna GK would be the editor.
