The Malayalam film Premalu, starring Naslen and Mamitha Baiju, released in theatres in 2024. Directed by Girish AD, the film emerged as a massive blockbuster.
Premalu reportedly collected more than 130 crores worldwide. Despite completing its theatrical run, the film continues to enjoy strong popularity among audiences.
Many viewers still consider it a comfort watch and regularly add it to their watchlists. The film’s sustained buzz kept discussions around a sequel alive.
Towards the end of 2024, Girish AD confirmed in interviews that he was planning Premalu 2. He also revealed that script work for the sequel had begun.
Later, reports suggested the director was not satisfied with the first draft. When the script was narrated to Naslen, the actor reportedly shared similar concerns.
As a result, Girish AD decided to rework the story, which delayed the shooting schedule. Since then, progress on the sequel has remained uncertain.
Currently, strong speculation suggests that Premalu 2 may have been shelved. One major reason cited is the busy schedules of Naslen and Mamitha Baiju, who are reportedly booked with multiple projects for the next few years.
Following these reports, fans have expressed mixed reactions. Some are disappointed, calling Premalu one of the finest rom-coms in Malayalam cinema and hoping for a sequel.
Others believe shelving the sequel is a wise move. They feel a weak follow up could harm the legacy of the original film.
As of now, there has been no official confirmation regarding the status of Premalu 2. It remains to be seen whether the project will be revived or stay shelved in the future.
