Girish AD to Direct Dulquer Salmaan After ‘Premalu 2’?

In an exciting development, popular filmmaker Girish AD is reportedly in talks with Dulquer Salmaan for his next project after Premalu 2. While the discussions are still in the early stages, sources suggest that Dulquer has given a positive nod, and the script is currently in development. If finalized, this collaboration will mark a fresh and exciting combination in Mollywood, given Girish’s expertise in youthful entertainers and Dulquer’s versatility.

Girish AD, known for his refreshing storytelling, made his directorial debut with Thanneer Mathan Dinangal (2019), a coming-of-age comedy that became a massive hit. He followed it up with Super Sharanya (2022), another youthful entertainer that resonated well with audiences. His biggest success came with Premalu (2024), starring Naslen and Mamitha Baiju, which became a blockbuster with its fun-filled romantic narrative. With Premalu 2 set to begin filming in June and expected to release in December 2025 or early 2026, Girish is continuing his successful run in Malayalam cinema.

Meanwhile, Dulquer Salmaan is set for a busy schedule, starting his next film with director Nahas Hidayath in March. Following that, he will collaborate with Soubin Shahir on a unique film based on the beach race. If Girish AD’s project materializes, it will be yet another exciting addition to Dulquer’s lineup, marking a fresh new directorial-actor duo that fans can look forward to.
