4 months ago | 35 Views

The makers of Thalavan, the investigative thriller starring Asif Ali and Biju Menon, have officially announced that there will be a sequel. People's expectations for a sequel were raised by the film's several unresolved subplots. In the meantime, Malayalam witnessed several box office successes this year that will undoubtedly have follow-ups. But audiences, particularly movie buffs, believe that the makers are not going to keep them waiting for too long.

Malaikottai Valiban (Disney+ Hotstar)

The audience's responses to the film, which is directed by Lijo Jose Pellissery, have been divided. The movie's ending sequence gave away that a sequel was already in the works. Malaikottai Vaaliban 2 is anticipated to delve into the background of the title character and his journey back to his native land.

Anweshippin Kandethum (Netflix)

The audience gave the crime-thriller a lot of praise. In light of the positive reception, the makers also confirmed a sequel. Even though Anweshippin Kandethum's characters came dangerously close to catching a criminal and making amends for a previous mishandled case that led to their suspensions, they ultimately fail to receive the success they deserve by the end of the film, raising expectations of a follow-up.

Premalu (Disney+ Hotstar & Aha)

Premalu has been the talk of the town for a while now because it was the Malayalam film industry's unexpected hit of the year. To the joy of the film's fans, director Girish AD disclosed that the romantic comedy will have a sequel. With "more fun and energy," the director has confirmed that Premalu 2 will be released in theatres in 2025. The group will remain the same, and Bhavana Studio will produce this project.

Turbo (Sony LIV)

In the film's closing credits, the action-comedy that featured Mammootty, suggests that a sequel may be in the works. At its conclusion, Turbo opens up the possibility of a new cinematic universe starring not only the megastar's films but also other top stars from other film industries.
