Prithviraj Sukumaran is gearing up for the release of his action drama Vilaayath Budha, slated to hit the big screens on November 21, 2025. During the film’s promotions, the Malayali superstar revealed plans for a potential sequel to his 2013 crime thriller Memories, directed by Jeethu Joseph.

Are Prithviraj and Jeethu Joseph reuniting for a Memories sequel?

Speaking with Red FM, Prithviraj Sukumaran revealed that the makers of Memories have an idea for a sequel. The actor-filmmaker said, “Usually, those who create a movie have to say it. I’m not sure if I am supposed to say this, but Jeethu wants to do a sequel to Memories. He has been speaking about it with me for some time now.”

Prithviraj then added humorously, “I hope he doesn’t drop the plans just because I revealed it now. He has an idea, a continuation of Sam Alex’s character. Such sequels have to be envisioned by writers or directors; it doesn’t matter what an actor thinks.”

More about Memories

For those unversed, Memories is a crime thriller starring Prithviraj Sukumaran in the lead role, directed by Drishyam filmmaker Jeethu Joseph. The film tells the story of Sam Alex, a once-stout superintendent in the Kerala Police force, who is on a path of self-destruction after losing his wife and daughter as a consequence of one of his missions.

As he turns to alcohol to cope with his grief, a new wave of terror shakes the city as a series of crimes unfold, leading to chaos. With no other option, the department turns to Sam Alex’s investigative skills despite his unstable state and reluctance to return.

Soon, the mission forces him back on track, relying on his policing instincts to nab the culprit before the threat reaches his personal life once again.

Apart from Rajuettan, the film features SP Sreekumar, Meghana Raj Sarja, Miya George, Vijayaraghavan, Suresh Krishna, Vanitha Krishnachandran, Rahul Madhav, and several others in key roles.

Looking ahead, Prithviraj will soon appear in Vilaayath Budha, directed by Jayan Nambiar. He is also working on films such as Mahesh Babu-SS Rajamouli’s Varanasi, the action drama Khalifa, and more.

Warner Bros. is preparing to bring Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone back to the big screen in a new and immersive format ahead of HBO’s upcoming Harry Potter remake series. The studio has confirmed a special “shared reality” version of the 2001 film as part of its 25th anniversary celebrations.

The release is being developed in partnership with Cosm, expanding on earlier collaborations that featured The Matrix and Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory in similar formats.

This enhanced version of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone will arrive in early 2026, with ticket sales expected to begin around the same time. As reported by Variety, the experience is powered by Cosm’s 87-foot LED domes and advanced filmmaking technology, designed to wrap the audience in a fully immersive world.

Cosm currently operates venues in Los Angeles and Dallas and plans to open new locations in Detroit and Atlanta next year. The updated film presentation is produced with Little Cinema and MakeMake Entertainment.

Harry Potter’s 25th anniversary re-release set for a global rollout

Warner Bros. previously announced a worldwide re-release for the movie’s 25th anniversary, marking a major milestone for the franchise. Directed by Chris Columbus, the film introduced audiences to Harry, Ron, and Hermione and established a whimsical tone that shaped the early years of the series.

Columbus directed the first two films before the franchise shifted to other directors, eventually landing with David Yates, who has helmed every Wizarding World film since Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.

Columbus recently addressed the controversy surrounding J.K. Rowling, saying her recent comments were “very sad.” Rowling has also criticized Emma Watson, who played original Hermione, for her public statements. Despite these disputes, the Harry Potter brand continues to maintain a strong global fan base, making the anniversary an ideal moment for a new theatrical experience.

Production on HBO’s full-length Harry Potter TV remake is already underway. The series will adapt one book per season, allowing for more detailed storytelling than the films. New actors will portray Harry, Ron, and Hermione, and the show is set to premiere in 2027. As Warner Bros. and Cosm explore new ways to enhance classic films, the Harry Potter re-release may attract both longtime fans and newcomers.
