Plot

Karthik (Shiva) is married to his girlfriend Selvi (Vijayalakshmi), so are Pazhani (Nithin Sathya) and Gopi (Vijay Vasanth). Raghu (Jai) is in love and is attempting to convince his girlfriend Anu’s (Sana Althaf) parents to accept him. Seenu (Premji), who had previously owned the tiny neighbourhood grocery store, is now the proud owner of a supermarket. He is single and keeps the group together with his never-ending booze parties, antagonizing the wives who blame him for their husbands's wayward ways. Despite the frequent fights at home, the group is still in touch and deeply care about each other. Meanwhile Raghu’s marriage is fixed. Though reluctant initially, Anu’s parents want her to be happy. Everyone is invited to their village, where the wedding celebrations are slated to go on for a week. It is in this picturesque village in Theni district that the friends are thrown back into their former life, when everything revolved around cricket and the beautiful bond of friendship. A midnight bachelor’s party goes horribly wrong with Raghu found in a compromising position with one of the dancers. The wedding is called off. How this entire complicated mess is sorted out with a series of cricket matches forms the rest of the story.

Cast

Production

Plans of making a sequel to Chennai 600028 have been reported several times in the media, first in 2007 shortly after the film's release.[1] In 2009, Indiaglitz.com reported that Venkat Prabhu and producer S. P. Charan would join together in 2010 to start the second part with a "top slot mass hero",[2] while Charan reiterated the same in an interview later.[3] In 2011, sources said that a sequel to Chennai 28 had been planned earlier but was not "on cards as of now".[4] In 2012, Venkat Prabhu again expressed interest in making a sequel, stating "I personally love to do Chennai- 28 with the tagline Second Innings".[5] This was confirmed after production of the film was officially unveiled on 28 February 2016.

Abhinay Vaddi, who had previously appeared in Ramanujan (2014), revealed that he had signed on to portray a negative role in the film and would sport a thick beard and moustache for his character.[6] Subbu Panchu also announced that he had signed the film during March 2016, while actress Anjena Kirti was brought into portray Vijay Vasanth's love interest.[7][8] Actor Viraj who appeared in the first film as a small boy, reprised his role in this film.[9]
