Nayanthara's upcoming film Mookuthi Amman 2 finally has a release date. The makers dropped an all-new teaser of the upcoming film on social media on Monday, September 14, 2026. Along with the teaser, the makers also announced the release date for the mythological film. However, looks like the film is all set to go head-on with Nitesh Tiwari's magnum opus, Ramayana, on Diwali 2026.

Mookuthi Amman 2 teaser

Taking to its social media accounts, production house Vels Film International shared the teaser on Monday and wrote, "Presenting the RiseOfMahasakthi (Teaser) in Tamil, Telugu, Hindi, Kannada and Malayalam. Releasing on Nov 6th, 2026. A sundarcoffi Mega Divine Entertainer. MookuthiAmman2FromNov6 Mahasakthi FromNov6."

The teaser, named Rise of Mahasakthi, starts with a rider entering a cave covered by a waterfall to warn his queen. "Enemy soldiers are on their way here, after getting to know that the child is here," he says.

It seems like the enemy troops are coming in search of the child, a prince. Unable to find a solution to save the child, the queen prays to the presiding deity of Mookuthi Amman, giving her life as an offering to the deity. Meanwhile, a woman's voice is heard saying, "I want it. Dead or alive." A man who has the ability to burn others to ashes is also seen in the teaser.

The story then shifts to the present day and age with actress Oorvasi praying to the Goddess. The teaser hints that the story will be taking place in two different time periods. Notably, Mookuthi Amman 2 is a sequel to Mookuthi Amman, which was released on OTT in 2020.

The film's November 6 release date means that it will lock horns with Ranbir Kapoor-starrer Ramayana Part 1. Directed by Nitesh Tiwari, the film is slated to release on Diwali this year. So far, no other biggie was scheduled to hit the big screens during the festival. However, the makers of Mookuthi Amman 2 announced that the movie will release during the same window.

Mookuthi Amman 2 is primarily a Tamil film, but it will be dubbed and released in Hindi, Telugu, Kannada, and Malayalam.
