The actress also said that she was determined to get the nuances of her characters perfectly, and she left no stone unturned to portray them with utmost perfection.

Directed by N, Linguswamy, Sandakozhi 2 narrates the story of Balu, who strives hard to protect his family from a man with evil intentions. The film was not a roaring success like its prequel, but the cast’s acting performances were appreciated by critics.

He decides to investigate the matter but finds himself stuck between two corrupt politicians. Sarkar received mixed reviews, with critics pointing out that makers had nothing novel to offer in terms of storyline.

On the work front, Varalaxmi is gearing up for her upcoming movie Kondraal Paavam, directed by Dayal Padmanabhan. She shared a post on Instagram, informing about this development and also wrote a thank you note to her colleagues.
