The much-loved Chennai 28 franchise could soon be gearing up for its third installment. According to the latest buzz from industry circles, director Venkat Prabhu has begun location scouting in Thailand for Chennai 28 Part 3, signaling progress on one of the anticipated sequels in Tamil cinema.
The franchise, which began with the cult classic Chennai 28 in 2007, has remained a fan favorite for its relatable characters, friendship dynamics and entertaining cricket backdrop. While the first film was set in Chennai and the sequel took the gang to a village setting, reports suggest that the third chapter will take the boys beyond Indian shores and into an international arena.
Sources indicate that the story will once again retain its cricket connection while introducing fresh conflicts, new adventures and plenty of humor. The film is expected to carry the trademark style of Venkat Prabhu, blending friendship, comedy, emotions and commercial entertainment.
Adding to the excitement, reports suggest that the screenplay and scripting work for the project have already been completed during a writing session in Sri Lanka. The filmmaker is now said to be exploring Thailand as a major backdrop for the film, which could offer a fresh visual setting for the franchise while retaining the essence that made the earlier installments popular.
Interestingly, Venkat Prabhu was initially expected to commence work on his ambitious sci-fi project with Sivakarthikeyan. However, industry sources indicate that the film requires extensive pre-production and world-building, resulting in a slight delay in its production timeline.
While an official announcement on Chennai 28 Part 3 is still awaited, the prospect of seeing the beloved gang reunite once again has already generated significant excitement among fans, who are eager to witness another fun-filled chapter in the franchise’s journey.
