Premalu Sequel Already Dead: What Went Wrong?

The Malayalam movie Premalu, starring Naslen and Mamitha Baiju and directed by Girish A. D, was a blockbuster success upon its release last year and a few months ago, the makers announced a sequel for this project is going to happen soon.

However, now there is strong speculation that Premalu 2 has been shelved due to creative differences between the director and actor, with Naslen reportedly not satisfied with Girish A. D’s story.

Additionally, there is also information circulating that Girish A. D has already started pre-production works for his next project with Nivin Pauly. This has led to speculation that Premalu 2 might be postponed to next year or even dropped entirely.

Following this buzz, some have responded to Naslen’s reported decision, viewing it as a responsible move from the actor to deliver a compelling sequel rather than taking the audience’s hype for granted.

Many also feel that recent sequels have often ended up as failures, and sometimes even tarnishing the original’s legacy, because directors prioritize the audience’s hype to make a sequel rather than to deliver a compelling story. Therefore, Naslen’s reported refusal to accept a flawed story is seen as a good call.

Conversely, some Premalu fans have voiced their disappointment on social media, as they’ve been eagerly awaited the sequel since its announcement.

As of now, there have been no official updates regarding Premalu 2. It remains to be seen whether the shooting will happen soon or if the project will indeed be dropped due to these reported creative differences.
