Saiju Kurup's latest film, 'Bharathanatyam 2: Mohiniyattam', directed by Krishnadas Murali, is a certified hit with audiences. What makes this success extra special is the history of its prequel. It's not new for a sequel to become a hit in Malayalam cinema after the first part failed. But in this case, the first film, 'Bharathanatyam', had shows cancelled because no one turned up. Now, 'Bharathanatyam 2: Mohiniyattam' is running to houseful shows, making its success doubly sweet. The film has already raked in around ₹40 crore in global collections.
This film is also a major milestone for Saiju Kurup, as it's his 150th movie. The story follows Sasidharan and his family as they try to deal with the mess left behind by the late Bharathan Nair. On top of that, they have to handle some very suspicious people who make their lives difficult.
The film has a fantastic star cast, including Saiju Kurup, Suraj Venjaramoodu, Jagadish, Vinay Forrt, Baby Jean, Kalaranjini, Sreeja Ravi, Abhiram Radhakrishnan, Swathi Das Prabhu, Divya Nair, Sruthi Suresh, Nandu Poduval, Jinil, Jivin, Santhosh Guruvayoor, and Nistar Sait.
Krishnadas Murali has directed the film, which is produced by Lini Mariam David and Anupama B Nambiar under the banners of Thomas Thiruvalla Films and Saiju Kurup Entertainments. The script is written by Krishnadas Murali and Vishnu R. Pradeep. The technical team includes Bablu Aju for cinematography, Shafique V. B. for editing, and Electronic Kili for music. Other crew members are Diljith M. Das (Art Direction), Dhanush Nayanar (Sound Design), Vipin Nair (Sound Mixing), Sujith Mattannur (Costumes), Manoj Kiranraj (Makeup), Samson Sebastian (Chief Associate Director), Salman K. M (Executive Producer), Jithesh Anjumana (Production Controller), and Vishnu S. Rajan (Stills). The promotional work was handled by Dot VFX Studio (Motion Poster), A. S.
