G2: Adivi Sesh shares exciting 'Goodachari 2' update: 'My biggest'

It's been seven months since we got any update from Telugu star Adivi Sesh about his upcoming Goodachari sequel G2. On Monday, the actor, who also wrote the film as he did in the original, shared an update on the film that has Wamiqa Gabbi and Emraan Hashmi in key roles.

In a note, the actor revealed the release date and added that he has been staying silent about the film for a good reason. Here's what he said: "I was silent until now. Because we have been building something EXPLOSIVE. Shooting in six countries. 23 sets. 150 days. Releasing in 5 languages. My BIGGEST. Exploding worldwide MAY DAY! May 1, 2026 In Theaters."

A big-budget espionage thriller, G2, which sees Sesh reprise the character, Arjun alias Agent Gopi 116, aims to expand the scale with higher stakes and international locations and is directed by Vinay Kumar Sirigineedi. Emraan is said to be playing the principal antagonist.

The first film was directed by Sashi Kiran Tikka and had Sobhita Dhulipala as the female lead.

G2 marks Wamiqa Gabbi's return to Telugu cinema nearly a decade after her debut in Bhale Manchi Roju. Wamiqa has been getting considerable attention in Bollywood after working with filmmakers such as Vishal Bhardwaj (in Khufiya) and Vikramaditya Motwane (in the Prime Video series Jubilee). She also became a popular name in Malayalam cinema after her debut in the sports drama Godha, co-starring Tovino Thomas.

Produced by T G Vishwa Prasad and Abhishek Agarwal under the banners People Media Factory, Abhishek Agarwal Arts, and AK Entertainments, G2 also stars Madhu Shalini, and Supriya Yarlagadda.

Last seen in Major and HIT: The Second Case, Adivi Sesh also has, in the pipeline, another thriller titled Dacoit, co-written by him and starring Mrunal Thakur as the female lead. Anurag Kashyap plays a senior cop in the film.
