Girish AD shared insights into the challenging production of the successful film 'Bethlehem Kudumba Unit'. Approximately one year was dedicated to developing a sequel to 'Premalu', titled 'Premalu 2'. However, the project had to be unexpectedly abandoned, causing a significant setback for the filmmaker and his team.
This unforeseen cancellation prompted the team to shift their focus to an earlier idea, 'Bethlehem Kudumba Unit'. Despite the lost time, they managed to complete the screenplay relatively quickly with the support of the production house and co-writers.
The film, starring Nivin Pauly and Mamitha Baiju, has since achieved significant box office success and positive reception following its OTT release. Girish AD expressed that the film exceeded their expectations, calling its success a personal victory.
