In the era of high-budget epic films, a simple romantic comedy film has gathered immense attention, praise, and, of course, money. Premalu is a romantic comedy starring Naslen and Mamitha Baiju in lead roles. Made on a modest budget, it went on to become one of the highest-grossing Malayalam films of all time.
The film’s dubbed versions in Telugu and Tamil also emerged as ‘Hits’; the film’s female lead in particular has become a sensation on the internet. Considering this super-positive reception from audiences, the makers have officially announced a direct sequel titled ‘Premalu-2’.
This move, however, received mixed reactions from netizens; while some shared their excitement regarding this project, some questioned its necessity since rom-coms usually don’t have sequels. Girish A. D., who helmed the first installment, will direct this film as well. But unlike its predecessor, Premalu-2 carries enormous expectations from audiences across all languages.
