Premalu 2: Is Naslen and Mamitha Baiju starrer's sequel delayed? Producer responds
Premalu starring Naslen and Mamitha Baiju in the lead roles, hit the big screens in 2024 and was a massive hit. With the sequel already announced earlier, it seems fans will have to wait some more time. In a recent interview with The Cue, the film's co-producer and popular actor-director Dileesh Pothan revealed that the sequel is delayed as of now. While the film is halted at the moment, it is unclear when they will begin work on it. Additionally, the Joji director highlighted that Girish AD, Premalu helmer, would soon start work on another project under their production house. For those unaware, Premalu is a Malayalam-language romantic comedy featuring the tale of Sachin, a miserable graduate from Kerala who has nothing going for him in his life. In hopes of finding something better, Sachin decides to move out of India but fails to get a visa in time. Hoping for a change, he, along with his friend, moves to Hyderabad where their paths cross with Reenu, a new joinee at an IT firm. How their relationship develops and whether they fall in love with each other form the story, with interesting and humorous characters appearing in it. With Naslen and Mamitha in leading roles, the film has actors like Sangeeth Prathap, Akhila Bhargavan, Shyam Mohan, Meenakshi Raveendran, Mathew Thomas, and many more in key roles. As the movie was a major blockbuster in theaters with critical acclaim, the makers announced a sequel to be in the making, titled Premalu 2. While the film was touted to be made on a grander scale, it seems the second installment would require some more time. Coming to Naslen 's work front, the actor was last seen in the Khalid Rahman directorial Alappuzha Gymkhana. The sports film is slated to begin streaming on SonyLIV from June 13, 2025. Moving ahead, the young actor will be appearing in the movie Lokah - Chapter One: Chandra, co-starring with Kalyani Priyadarshan. The upcoming cinematic universe from Malayalam is bankrolled by Dulquer Salmaan, who is rumored to have a cameo appearance alongside Tovino Thomas. On the other hand, Mamitha Baiju is currently involved in various films, including Thalapathy Vijay's Jana Nayagan, Dude with Pradeep Ranganathan, and Suriya 46.

Internet Obsessed With Why Cat Feels 'Special' When Watching Film
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A TikTok video featuring a black cat with an unusual TV habit has drawn the attention of social media users, who can't cope with how cute it is. The clip, shared on Saturday under the username @itsjojiandmochi, shows the black cat, Joji, lounging on his owner's bed, with his eyes locked on the screen, watching the animated series Flow, which follows the adventure of a lookalike cat. "PSA: this is your sign to have your black cat watch Flow because it makes them feel special," the poster writes in the clip as Joji gets even closer to the TV, following all of the protagonist' movements. "This is his second time watching it and he stays up to watch it," she adds in the caption. Joji really seemed to enjoy watching the lookalike animated version of himself on TV, but can cats actually see what's happening on the screen? Science says possibly, though maybe not always. Some studies have found that felines are able to identify images on TV, but the way they perceive these images in their brain is still unknown. If you find your cat is staring at the television while it is on, it may be for two reasons: they are either stimulated by what's on; or they are being disturbed by it, says the U.K. charity Cats Protection on its website. When your feline watches with narrow pupils and ears, and whiskers pointed forward, they may be stimulated by the image on the TV. If their pupils are dilated and their ears flat, it may be a sign that they're stressed by what is on screen. A Catster article medically reviewed by Dr. Marta Vidal-Abarca says that watching TV programs featuring prey animals and linear movement may be beneficial for cats, as it provides enrichment and stimulation. However, just like with humans, watching too much TV is not healthy, especially when it is used as a substitute for environmental enrichment. Another danger of watching the TV is your cat attacking it, which could cause it to fall on them and get hurt. A stock image shows a black cat lounging on a bed, watching the TV.

One user, Rae, commented: "This reminds me of when I played Shrek for my orange kitty and he meowed so loud the entire time pussnboots was on screen. He was the best kitty in the world." Nicorudu said: "My cat LOVED Flow. Could not stop watching and was SO expressive throughout. Amazing movie." Jameelaamira added: "My black cat has to watch cat TV channels on YT—she loves watching the live feeds of the birds. She'll love this." Newsweek reached out to @itsjojiandmochi for comment via email.
