Diwali has always been a great time around all the film industries as it promises rich dividends. Same happened with Kaithi and Bigil. Vijay always gets a Diwali berth for himself and manages to make it count. This time too Bigil created and broke many records. But despite contesting with such a big film, Kaithi has managed to not only make money but become one of the successful films as well. So it isn't surprising that the sequel to the film has been confirmed by the lead actor Karthi, a few minutes ago. Kaithi Review: Twitterati Give Karthi’s Action Thriller a Thumbs Up

Karthi writes, "To my brothers and sisters who have given me so much love and stayed with me in all the ups and downs, I’ll keep working hard to make you feel proud! Dilli will be back for you!" Kaithi has done better than Vijay's Bigil at many places like AP/Telangana and the US. Yesterday, Kaithi earned Rs 42 lakh in AP/TG whereas Bigil/Whistle made Rs 35 lakh. In the US, Kaithi earned $44,035 while Bigil managed to earn $40,180.

Speaking about the sequel, Karthi had informed New Indian Express, "Kaithi 2' is definitely on our minds. Lokesh even called me saying he is ready with the idea for a sequel and he just needs 30 days of my time to wrap the shoot. So, you can expect an announcement from us soon." So get ready for next Diwali.
