‘Queen’ fame Saniya Iyappan and ‘Vimaanam’ fame Durga Krishna to play the female leads in Pretham 2

We had earlier reported about director Ranjith Sankar and Jayasurya reuniting for a sequel to their hit horror film, Pretham. The sequel will once again have Jayasurya in the role of mentalist John Don Bosco. However, the plot will not be a continuation and will be dealing with another episode in the mentalist’s life.

Saniya Iyappan and Durga Krishna will be seen as the female leads in the movie. While Saniya made her debut with the hit film, Queen, Durga started off her career by playing Prithviraj’s pair in Vimaanam. Interestingly, both Saniya and Durga have signed for a big project each, besides Pretham 2. While Saniya is a part of Lucifer, Durga is on board for the epic-period film Marakkar : Arabikadalinte Simham, both starring superstar Mohanlal in the lead.

More details about their roles in Pretham 2 have not yet been revealed. Dain Davis, noted for his performance in comedy reality shows, has also been roped in for the movie. Pretham 2 is Jayasurya’s fifth film with director Ranjith Sankar. All their previous outings – Su Su Sudhi Vathmeekam, Njan Marykutty, Pretham and the Punyalan franchise – were hits, so they will be putting in their best of efforts to continue the successful run.

Shoot for the movie is expected to commence shortly and they are planning it as a Christmas release in December.
