This announcement has sent waves of excitement rippling through the fan community. Following its theatrical release on August 15, 2024, Thangalaan raked in an impressive worldwide box office collection of Rs. 72 crores.

In a revealing interview with Pinkvilla, director Pa Ranjith hinted at the possibility of a sequel to Thangalaan. He teased fans with the question of what happened to the characters post the film’s conclusion, hinting at unresolved storylines that demand continuation. Ranjith pondered, “After Thangalaan struck gold, what transpired next? Did the colonial regime leave them content or in turmoil? How did their lives evolve or stagnate? These are crucial questions that beg exploration, and I am eager to delve into them.”
For those unfamiliar, Thangalaan is a cinematic extravaganza produced under the esteemed Studio Green banner. The film boasts a stellar ensemble cast, including Parvathy Thiruvothu, Malavika Mohanan, Pasupathy, Hari Krishnan, Daniel Caltagirone, and more.
