Vishwaroopam II, or Vishwaroop II, is a 2018 Indian action spy film written and directed by Kamal Haasan and co-written by Atul Tiwari and Chakri Toleti. It is the sequel to Vishwaroopam (2013) and features Kamal Haasan alongside Rahul Bose, Shekhar Kapur, Pooja Kumar and Andrea Jeremiah, reprising their roles.[5] While the first film was set in the United States, Vishwaroopam II takes place in India.[6] The film was simultaneously shot in Tamil and Hindi.

Produced by Kamal Haasan and V. Ravichandran in Tamil, the film was promoted by Ekta Kapoor and Shobha Kapoor in Hindi as Vishwaroop II.[7] Initially planned as a late 2013 release,[8] the film was stuck in development hell and was revived only in April 2017 when Haasan took over as producer himself.
