Mookuthi Amman 2 is the sequel to Mookuthi Amman, released in 2020, and is a fantasy comedy-drama. Directed by Sundar C, it sees Nayanthara return in the lead role. Regina, Duniya Vijay, Urvashi, Yogi Babu, Abhinaya, Sneha, Khushbu Sundar, Ramachandra Raju, Myna Nandini and Ajay Ghosh are also part of the cast.

The film's budget is ₹100-115 crore, with non-theatrical business of ₹93 crore and theatrical business of ₹60 crore. The break-even share target is ₹65 crore and the gross target is ₹130 crore. Theatrical rights were sold for ₹35 crore in Tamil Nadu, ₹10 crore in the Telugu states, ₹8 crore for Hindi and ₹7 crore overseas.

As stated by the makers, OTT, satellite, music and Hindi dubbing rights have already fetched non-theatrical business worth ₹93 crore, which helps offset the weakness at the box office to some extent.
