Is Naslen and Mamitha Baiju starrer Premalu 2 shelved?
According to a report by the online portal Kerala Box Office, Premalu 2 has been shelved by the makers. The sequel was announced during the success event of the first installment and was reportedly planned on a much larger scale than Premalu.
However, it now seems that the sequel will not move forward. While this remains unconfirmed, early speculation suggested that the final screenplay failed to impress Naslen, leading the actor to step away from the project.
Although these claims are currently based on rumours, an official confirmation from the makers is still awaited.
