In a highly unexpected and disappointing development for Mollywood fans, the highly anticipated romantic-comedy sequel ‘Premalu 2’ has been reportedly shelved.
Lead actor Naslen Gafoor addressed the ongoing industry rumours, confirming that the creative team at Bhavana Studios decided to permanently halt the project following unresolved script differences and a mutual desire to protect the legacy of the original 2024 blockbuster.
In place of the sequel, director Girish A.D. is pivoting immediately into a fresh, standalone romantic comedy titled Bethlehem Kudumba Unit.
The new project will see Mamitha Baiju returning to pair up alongside Nivin Pauly, who replaces Naslen as the central protagonist.
While Sachin and Reenu’s story will not get a second chapter, the original core technical crew—including co-writer Kiran Josey and music composer Vishnu Vijay—remains completely intact to construct this new cinematic venture.
