(April 2025) (Learn how and when to remove this message) Years after their earlier adventures, Mannar Mathai runs a travel agency, Urvashi Tours & Travels, with his old partners Gopalakrishnan and Balakrishnan. To celebrate the 25th anniversary of their drama troupe, Mathai plans a new play, though his partners are reluctant due to past troubles in the theatre. When they advertise for a new English-speaking driver, Mathai secretly adds another ad seeking a “heroine” for the play. This brings in Nithya and her friend Unni. While Unni is hired as the driver, Mathai sees Nithya as his lead actress. Soon, the trio encounters their former foe, Mahendra Varma, now mentally impaired after an accident. They forgive him, but new complications arise when they learn that Nithya and Unni are fugitives falsely accused of bank fraud. It is revealed that Nithya is the daughter of Ramji Rao, who has since reformed, taken the name Kunjumon, and become a pastor. Meanwhile, Mahendra’s identical twin brother, Hareendran — an international criminal — arrives in search of a stolen diamond hidden in a bag now held by SI Babumon. When Hareendran kidnaps Gopalakrishnan’s daughters to retrieve the diamond, Mathai and his friends attempt a risky rescue. Amid chaos involving mistaken identities, betrayals, and overlapping kidnappings, a massive brawl breaks out between the criminals, police, and theatre members. Hareendran is apparently arrested, but it is later revealed that he escaped after swapping clothes with his twin brother, Mahendran. The film ends during the troupe’s 25th anniversary play, where Gopalakrishnan notices the lost diamond embedded in Mathai’s crown. As Mathai hints that someone may soon come looking for it, they spot Hareendran in the audience — only for him to vanish moments later. ## Cast - [Innocent](/source/Innocent_(actor)) as Mannar Mathai - [Mukesh](/source/Mukesh_(actor)) as Gopalakrishnan - [Sai Kumar](/source/Sai_Kumar_(Malayalam_actor)) as Balakrishnan - [Biju Menon](/source/Biju_Menon) in a dual role as: - Mahendra Varma - Hareendra Varma - [Vijayaraghavan](/source/Vijayaraghavan_(actor)) as Ramji Rao / Pastor Kunjumon - [Aparna Gopinath](/source/Aparna_Gopinath) as Nithya - [Janardhanan](/source/Janardhanan_(actor)) as Garvasees Aashan - [Indrans](/source/Indrans) as Ponnappan - Priyanka Anoop as Shakunthala - [Shammi Thilakan](/source/Shammi_Thilakan) as Driver Koshi - [Akshitha](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Akshitha&action=edit&redlink=1) as Malayali House Fame - [Kalabhavan Shajon](/source/Kalabhavan_Shajon) as [SI](/source/Sub-inspector) Babumon - [Niyas Backer](/source/Niyas_Backer) as Cook Manjulan - [Basil Paulose](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Basil_Paulose&action=edit&redlink=1) as Unni - [Chembil Ashokan](/source/Chembil_Ashokan) - Ullas Pandalam - Andrew Ross as the Diamond Smuggler - [Naseer Sankranthi](/source/Naseer_Sankranthi) - [Vani Viswanath](/source/Vani_Viswanath) as Meera/Stella Fernandez [Special appearance in the title song] (From the first part's film shots) - [Sukumari](/source/Sukumari) as Gopalakrishnan's mother [Special appearance in the title song] (From the first part's film shots) ## Music Mannar Mathai Speaking 2 Soundtrack album by Rahul Raj Released 17 January 2014 Recorded 2013 Genre Feature film soundtrack Length 20:11 Language Malayalam Label East Coast Audio Producer Rahul Raj Rahul Raj chronology London Bridge (2014) Mannar Mathai Speaking 2 (2014) Kadavul Paathi Mirugam Paathi (2014) The music and background score of the movie are composed, orchestrated, and produced by [Rahul Raj](/source/Rahul_Raj).
