"Mangalavaaram," the Payal Rajput-starrer, carved a unique niche for itself in Tollywood with its distinctive narrative. Directed by Ajay Bhupati, the film achieved moderate success at the box office, largely attributed to Ajaneesh Loknath's impactful background score and the film's unconventional screenplay.
It has been previously reported that director Ajay Bhupati has been developing the script for "Mangalavaaram 2" for the past year. Now, sources suggest a potential shift in the sequel's target audience. Unlike the first installment, which dealt with mature themes and received an 'A' certificate, "Mangalavaaram 2" is reportedly being crafted to appeal to a broader family audience.
Insiders indicate that "Mangalavaaram 2" is envisioned as a period drama with a significant devotional element. Furthermore, it's suggested that Payal Rajput will not be part of the sequel's cast, and Ajay Bhupati is currently in discussions with various actresses for the lead role. This intriguing project is also expected to be backed by a prominent production house. This potential change in direction for the "Mangalavaaram" franchise has sparked curiosity about the narrative and tone of the upcoming installment.
