Veendum Kili Poyi: Kili Poyi sequel is on!

‘Kili Poyi’, released in 2013, was the first stoner movie in Malayalam. Starring Asif Ali and Aju Varghese in the lead, the movie was directed by Vinay Govind. Though the response during its theatrical run was mixed, the movie attained wide popularity later. The makers are now planning a sequel to the movie, script works for which are currently progressing. Asif and Aju Varghese have been retained in the cast and they will be reprising their roles from the first part.

The sequel tentatively titled as ‘Veendum Kili Poyi’ will be appealing to the sensibilities of today’s audience. Director Vinay Govind is quoted saying to TOI that the socio-political scenario now is different from what it was in 2013, so they will be trying to incorporate those changes as well without diluting the concept of the original.Aby Thottapuram is producing the movie. He is also backing the upcoming Dileep starrer to be funded by G Prajith of ‘Oru Vadakkan Selfie’ fame.

Asif Ali meanwhile is busy shooting for ‘Kakshi Amminipilla’ directed by debutant Dinjith Ayyathan. He also has a handful of projects lined up in his kitty, namely – ‘Virus’, ‘Uyare’, ‘Mera Naam Shaji’ and ‘Underworld’. His next release will be Jis Joy’s ‘Vijay Superum Pournamiyum’.
