A sequel to the latest Malayalam investigative thriller, Thalavan, starring Asif Ali and Biju Menon, is in development, the makers announced at the success celebration event that was held in Kochi on Saturday.
Further, the team posted a special announcement teaser on Instagram that features a voice-over from actor Dileesh Pothan’s character in the film. “This (the first film) was a story about how a criminal within the police force went after the police. But this story does not end here. In the next episode, I will tell a story about someone who largely went unnoticed in this case’s story,” says the voice over.
Directed by Jis Joy, Thalavan told the story of how a murder case triggers an intra-departmental rivalry between two police officers. Written by Sharath Perumbavoor and Anand Thevarakkattu, the film released in theatres on May 24.
