Summary
- 'Bharathanatyam' sequel 'Mohiniyattam' in production, directed by Krishnadas Murali
- Teaser hints at a darker, more sinister plot with family secrets unveiled
- Most of the original cast, including Saiju Kurup, set to reprise their roles
In 2025, the much-anticipated sequel to the heartwarming family drama 'Bharathanatyam' is set to hit the screens. Titled 'Mohiniyattam', the film is once again helmed by director Krishnadas Murali, who wrote and directed the acclaimed original.
The sequel promises a fresh tone, hinting at a darker twist. Most of the original cast, including Saiju Kurup, Saikumar, Kalaranjini, Sreeja Ravi, Jinil Rex, and Jivin Rex, will reprise their roles. The recently unveiled motion poster has already sparked curiosity among fans, with Saiju Kurup's character heard giving serious instructions to his family about "hiding a crime" - a stark contrast to the family-centric tone of 'Bharathanatyam'.
With a seasoned team, including cinematographer Bablu Aju, editor Shafeeque VB, and music director Electronic Kili, director Krishnadas Murali aims to elevate the narrative's intensity and visual storytelling. While 'Bharathanatyam' focused on a traditional middle-class family's carefully maintained public image unraveling amid buried secrets, the sequel promises to delve deeper into the family's hidden past.
