5. This film is a standalone sequel, meaning that while it does take characters from the previous film, it does not completely serve as a continuation of its plot, sometimes to the point that it completely establishes a new plotline for these characters. This is different from the term it has been designated by others, a "spiritual successor", where the themes and plot structure are the only things retained, while everything else including the characters is completely changed. In this film, Rajinikanth does continue with playing Dr. Vaseegaran and Chitti, and there is the son of Dr. Bohra (the antagonist from the previous film, 'Enthiran'), who serves as one of the main antagonists here. However, many other elements seemed to have changed, including the designs and to some extent, the tone of the film.
