Story and Historical Background
Set mainly in the 14th century, the film opens briefly in the year 2025 before moving back in time. The story is inspired by Annal Kandar’s book Moondram Vallalla Maharaja and focuses on the resistance of the Hoysala Empire and the Kadavarayas of Senthamangalam during the first Mughal invasion of South India.
At the center of the story is King Veera Simha Kadavarayan (Richard Rishi), who stands up against the powerful and ruthless Mohammad Bin Tughlaq (played by Chirag Jani). The film blends real historical events with cinematic drama, highlighting courage, sacrifice, and the fight to protect the homeland.

Final Verdict
Draupathi 2 looks set to be a grand historical action drama rooted in South Indian history. With Richard Rishi stepping into a powerful warrior-king role and Mohan G aiming for a large-scale narrative, the film carries strong potential. Backed by Ghibran’s music and epic visuals, Draupathi 2 could appeal to audiences who enjoy history-driven, patriotic cinema. The final impact, however, will depend on how well the film balances historical depth with cinematic storytelling.
