Here’s the first look of Jayasurya’s Pretham 2

Recently, director Ranjith Sankar announced that he will be making a sequel for his hit horror film, Pretham. Last day, through his official social media handle, he released the first look poster of Pretham 2 featuring Jayasurya. The actor will be seen reprising his role of mentalist John Don Bosco in the sequel. Shoot for the movie will be commencing soon and they are planning it as a Christmas release in December.

Pretham, which was released in 2016, had Jayasurya, Aju Varghese, Govind Padmasoorya, Sharafudheen and Shruthi Ramachandran in major roles. Made as an entertaining horror-comedy, the movie emerged as a commercial success. Regarding the sequel, except for Jayasurya, details about cast members have not yet been revealed. It remains to be seen if the same cast will be retained or the director is planning it as a ‘Pretham’ franchise, like how they do in Bollywood.

Pretham 2 is Jayasurya’s fifth film with Ranjith Sankar. The duo has earlier teamed up for hit films like Su Su Sudhi Vathmeekam, Njan Marykutty and the Punyalan franchise. Their latest film, Njan Marykutty, which was released last month, has successfully completed 50 days in theatres. The movie which discussed an inspiring story of a transsexual and her ambition to become a police officer found appreciation from critics and commoners.
