Talking in detail about it, Tovino Thomas said, “First of all, my director is very busy acting. Basil Joseph is a busy actor in Kerala, and right now he is acting in a movie which I’m producing and very soon, he’ll start his next directorial, which isn’t Minnal Murali 2.”
The actor added, “Let him take his sweet time to find the best screenplay for Minnal Murali 2. Minnal Murali 1 wasn’t a forced film…it just happened, so we don’t want to force Minnal Murali 2 also. If it is supposed to happen, it will happen.”
Moreover, the actor was also asked about the possibility of making the movie into a cinematic universe. In response, the actor said, “Probably, we’ll come with that universe, or maybe this Jyothi Kaavu (the village in ARM) can be the beginning of a universe.
