The romantic comedy film was directed by Sibi Malayil, written by Ranjith and produced by Siyad Koker under the company Kokers Films. It starred Jayaram, Suresh Gopi, Manju Warrier and Kalabhavan Mani, while Mohanlal made a cameo appearance.
After 24 years of its release, the makers of the film announced the second part of the blockbuster. The announcement was made by Siyad Koker during the audio launch of the film Meri Awas Suno, starring Manju Warrier and Jayasurya. He said that Manju is like a family and he could do only one film with her. The sequel announcement is exciting news for audiences, who had been asking for a second part ever since the release of the film.
Mohanlal’s character Niranjan was one of the best guest roles in Malayalam cinema ever. Also, the question of who sent Jayaram the cat still remains unanswered. The cinephiles are wondering if the answer to this question will be in the second part.
