Starring Ajai Rao, the Pavan Bhat directorial tells the gripping tale of a lawyer fighting for justice on behalf of a mother whose young child falls victim to abuse.

The launch of the trailer for Yuddhakaanda Chapter 2 was an event in itself as the legendary Crazy Star V Ravichandran graced the occasion with his presence. Ravichandran, known for his memorable role in the original Yuddhakaanda (1989), a remake of the Hindi classic Meri Jung, is closely tied to this sequel, offering his words of encouragement and insight on the film and the people behind it.

Yuddhakaanda Chapter 2 takes inspiration from the original, but this time the focus is not just on the courtroom. Ajai Rao, doubling as an actor and producer, has set out to make a significant social impact.

Speaking passionately in media interactions, he says, "Being a father to a young daughter, I could not help but think about what I would do if my family ever encountered the kind of situation depicted in the film. I am determined to make a difference, and I hope this film sparks societal and legal changes to protect girls and women."
