Sahasam director Bibin Krishna says there is ‘huge possibility' for Twenty One Grams sequel but…
'Huge possibility for a sequel'
Bibin stated that he never intends to create a sequel when he starts a script, but by the time it is finished, he frequently has the possibility of one. "People do ask me if there would be a sequel for Twenty One Grams and I am happy because it means they enjoyed the movie," he stated. "I often wonder what happens to the characters after writing a screenplay, so why not have a sequel?" the director continued. While stating there is a 'huge possibility' for a second part, he claimed to have had brief conversations on potential sequel plot points with a few members of the cast and crew. "However, I am currently concentrating on my upcoming film and I prefer to take one step at a time," he remarked.
While Twenty One Grams is a compelling thriller, Bibin's Sahasam is a full-fledged comedy entertainer. The screenplays for both films were written by the director.
The film Sahasam, starring Narain, Babu Antony, Baiju Santhosh, Shabareesh Varma, Gouri G Kishan, and Ramzan, was released on August 8. Narain hasn't starred in a Malayalam movie in a while. His most recent was the 2023 film, Queen Elizabeth, that can be viewed on ZEE5 via OTTplay Premium.

Anupama urges audiences to support female-centric films in theatres
Actress Anupama Parameswaran, who made her Malayalam debut with Premam and later rose to prominence in Telugu cinema with A Aa, is set to headline a female-centric film titled Paradha. Speaking about the challenges of making such films, Anupama highlighted a growing trend—audiences show interest in watching female-led stories on OTT platforms but are often reluctant to visit theatres for them. 'Commercial viability is a big hurdle,' she explained. 'Many female-centric films end up on OTT because they struggle to draw theatre audiences. But movies like Arundathi and Bhaagmathi proved that such stories can succeed on the big screen. Paradha has everything audiences expect from a good film—it's just led by a female star. I may not have typical hero-style fights, but we have a strong, engaging story.' Anupama stressed that female-led projects must also be presented in a commercial format to survive theatrically. She urged viewers to give Paradha a chance if they hear positive word of mouth. The film's cast includes Darshana Rajendran, Rag Mayur, Sangitha Krish, Rajendra Prasad, and Harsha Vardhan. Produced by Vijay Donkada, Sreenivasulu PV, and Sridhar Makkuva under Ananda Media, it is directed by Praveen Kandregula.

This August 15, watch four inspiring women as they redefine Independence
This Independence Day, meet four women protagonists who embody the responsibility that comes with freedom. They exemplify patriotism, social consciousness, empathy and courage. Dr. Sneha, Captain Shikha Sharma, Vartika Chaturvedi and Kashaf not only make space for the feminine perspective in male-dominated realms but also strain against societal prejudices. Each of these women reflect values central to the idea of India, provoke thought and encourage us to imagine and work towards a more equal, just, fair and resilient country. 1. The Test Case Directed by Vinay Waikul and Nagesh Kukunoor, 'The Test Case', though faintly inspired by the Demi Moore starrer 'G.I. Jane' (1997) shattered stereotypes by portraying Nimrat Kaur as the first woman to be 'tested' in a combat role in the Indian army. Kaur plays Captain Shikha Sharma, the only woman in a group of Indian Army officers training to join the Special forces. In scenes reminiscent of Kavita Chaudhary's 1987 series 'Udaan', she falters initially at tasks entailing physical strength and attracts disdain and animosity from her male counterparts. But thanks to her leadership skills and determination, she not only graduates at the top of her training course but also ensures that she gets justice for the trauma she has been put through. The show invites us to envision an India where women will be treated on par with men and will not be made to feel unsafe everywhere. Watch it on JioHotstar. 2. Main Kuch Bhi Kar Sakti Hoon 'Main Kuch Bhi Kar Sakti Hoon' (MKBKSH), is a pathbreaking show ideated and launched by Population Foundation of India across television, radio, the internet, and mobile platforms. At its heart is Dr Sneha Mathur, a conscientious medical professional who chooses to leave the city to work in a village. Along the way, she tries to raise awareness about issues like family planning, domestic abuse, early marriage, sex selection, sexual and reproductive health. With patience, grit and courage, she breaks past barriers of ignorance and prejudice to transform lives. The show sparked conversations around gender equality and also sensitised the audiences to the rural inequities that must be bridged if India has to progress inclusively. The cumulative viewership of 150 million signifies that the show's message travelled far and wide. MKBKSH was directed by Feroz Abbas Khan. Watch it on YouTube. 3. Delhi Crime Richie Mehta's Emmy winning 'Delhi Crime' not only sheds light on the dark undercurrents of gender violence, social disparity and unchecked crime but also celebrates Deputy Commissioner of Police Vartika Chaturvedi (Shefali Shah) who leads from the front to bring hope and justice to victims and survivors of horrific crimes. The police procedural crime drama has tackled difficult subjects like the 2012 Delhi gang rape case and the trails of murders by the notorious Chaddi Baniyan Gang. The drama reminds us what conscientious policing can look like and at the International Emmy Awards held in November 2020, it became the first Indian series to receive the award for Best Drama Series. Watch it on Netflix. 4. Guilty Minds 'Guilty Minds' is an unusual legal drama steered by Shefali Bhushan and Jayant Digambar Somalkar. This series stars Shriya Pilgaonkar as Kashaf Quaze who with her friend Vandana runs a law centre to take up class action and humanitarian cases. Along the way, she comes face to face with many issues that contemporary India is facing but always fights for the underdog and never gives up on her idealism even in the face of disillusion. Be it gender violence, water shortages in rural India or corruption, Kashaf shows us how to take challenges head on and speak up for the voiceless. Watch it on Amazon Prime.
