In a development that’s making waves across South Indian cinema, Malayalam young star Anaswara Rajan has been formally confirmed as the heroine of the highly anticipated sequel to one of Tamil cinema’s greatest cult romantic epics — 7G Rainbow Colony. Directed by the genius Selvaraghavan for the second time, this sequel aims to recapture the sheer emotion, agony, and passion that had made the 2004 original such a cinematic landmark.
Titled 7G Rainbow Colony 2 in Tamil and 7G Brindavan Colony 2 in Telugu, the film marks Anaswara Rajan’s major debut in a bilingual project. Her addition to the cast injects fresh energy into a story that has left an enduring legacy over two decades.
Selvaraghavan’s Return to a Cult Classic
Selvaraghavan, who has a reputation for his unflinching narrative and innovative exploration of human emotions, is back to visit a world that he had woven 20 years ago. 7G Rainbow Colony, which came out in 2004, was an intimate film that resonated with a generation of audiences. Its depiction of raw young love, self-discovery, and loss of emotions rendered it one of the most discussed romantic dramas of its day.
With the sequel, Selvaraghavan returns to the inner world of the central character of the film, Kadhir, again played by Ravi Krishna, who reprised his role in the first. The emotional depth and transformation of his journey will now meet with Anaswara Rajan’s character, bringing a new dynamic that reshapes the crux of the story.
Anaswara Rajan Steps Into the Spotlight
Anaswara Rajan, one of Malayalam film’s brightest new talents, has established herself with strong performances in such films as Thanneer Mathan Dinangal, Super Sharanya, and Mike. A natural in front of the camera and an effective emoter, she quickly became a fan favorite in South India.
Assuming the female lead in 7G Rainbow Colony 2 is not only a new role for Anaswara — it’s a giant leap into Tamil and Telugu cinema. She enters a world that already has great emotional baggage for fans, and early word is that she’s going to give a powerhouse performance that could shape the next chapter of her career.
Interestingly, experienced actor Jayaram will essay her father in the film, lending gravitas to the family drama and emotional content promised by Selvaraghavan’s script.
Yuvan Shankar Raja Comes Back with Emotion’s Music
A 7G movie with Yuvan Shankar Raja would not be the same. The first soundtrack was critical in determining the film’s appeal, and even today, fans love Yuvan’s tunes. His decision to return as the music director for the second installment is the most thrilling news about the film.
Recognized for his skill at mixing urban beats with mournful melodies, Yuvan will again inject the story with a forceful emotional soundtrack. The soundtrack will be integral to connecting the original’s nostalgia with the modern feel of the sequel. Fans are already anticipating the release of the first single, which should drop later this year.
Bilingual Release with a Power Pack Supporting Cast
7G Rainbow Colony 2 is being produced by A.M. Rathnam under the Sri Surya Movies banner, the same banner that found success behind some landmark Tamil films in the early 2000s. The production has been given proper care, considering the stature of the original film.
The movie will release simultaneously in Tamil and Telugu, and the Telugu title will be 7G Brindavan Colony 2. This tactical step increases its market and is a celebration of the cross-cultural reach of Selvaraghavan’s storytelling.
Ravi Krishna, Suman Setty, and Sudha reprise their initial roles, instilling a strong sense of continuity and familiarity. Their characters will now have interactions with new people, such as Anaswara, to drive the story into untapped emotional landscapes.
Production Updates and Release Plan
While the movie was announced officially in January 2025, the shoot actually commenced in August 2023, and it stayed hidden till the time it was appropriately revealed. The crew has been working quietly but effectively, and each frame respects the legacy of the first but builds a new enthralling chapter.
Cinematographer Ramji makes a comeback to work with Selvaraghavan, and he adds visual depth to the tale. Prasanna G.K. brings on board as editor to keep the film taut and emotionally charged.
With the principal photography well underway in its final phase, post-production will start soon. If things go as planned, 7G Rainbow Colony 2 will reach theaters in early 2026, around the time of the 22nd anniversary of the original release.
An Emotional Journey Continues
The follow-up is not a mere nostalgia cash-in. It’s a thoughtful continuation of an emotional arc that remains close to the hearts of Tamil and Telugu fans. The essence of the original — the rough, unpolished quality of first love and the subsequent heartbreak — will now get a new voice through Anaswara Rajan’s portrayal.
Selvaraghavan has also vowed to deliver a film that is emotionally mature and modern in its approach, questioning the manner in which time transforms human beings, love, and thought patterns. A mix of old and new, 7G Rainbow Colony 2 contains every aspect of a film that can both pay tribute to the past and address the present.
