The serial 'Chithi' was launched in 1999 and aired on Sun TV. Actress Raadika Sarathkumar and Sivakumar played the lead roles. To this day, Chithi remains the favorite of many homemakers. Sun TV launched the second part of the serial earlier this year.
Like the first part, Raadika Sarathkumar plays the lead in this one too. But just months after shooting began, the coronavirus-induced curfew came into place and the serial was temporarily halted. Similarly, some of the characters including Ponvannan who played the lead role underwent a change.
The serial is currently moving at a critical juncture where the twists and the turns about the Kavin-Venba marriage are taking place. But actress Raadika has now announced her departure from the serial.
She took to Twitter to pen - Mixed mood of happiness and a tinge of sadness as I sign off from #Chithi 2 &megaseials for now. Given the best of my years and hard work in @suntv Sad to say bye to all the technicians and costars. The show must go on good luck to Cavin, venba and Yazhini. 1/1
Love to all my fans and well wishers thanks for the unconditional love and loyalty. Keep watching #Chithi2 @radaantv My best is yet to come
