Production

The film is set in India. Kamal has earlier stated that the second part will be laced with a strong mother-son sentiment. He stated that 40% of the film was shot during the making of part one itself. While part 1 was a little over 2 hours 20 minutes, the sequel's length will be less than 2 hours.

Due to personal reasons, cinematographer Sanu Varghese opted out of Vishwaroopam II and was replaced by Shamdat Sainuddeen. Ghibran was signed up to compose the music.

Haasan approached Vyjayanthimala to portray the role of his mother in the film, but her refusal led to Waheeda Rahman being cast.

Haasan cast Waheeda Rahman and Anant Mahadevan for the sequel in addition to the main cast.

The shooting of Vishwaroopam II began in Thailand, with the team shooting scenes at the Bangkok airbase. There was a sequence where actors defuse bombs and engage enemies in a gun battle underwater which was done by the actors themselves after training in scuba diving. The Chennai schedule of the film started on 13 June 2013.
