Ajay Bhupathi Gears Up for Mangalavaaram 2 with a Family-Friendly Twist

Director Ajay Bhupathi, who made waves with his intriguing thriller Mangalavaaram starring Payal Rajput, is now deep into preparations for the sequel—Mangalavaaram 2. The first installment stood out for its bold narrative, gripping screenplay, and a powerful background score by Ajaneesh Loknath, earning it critical praise and commercial success. However, the film’s intense subject matter and presentation led to it receiving an ‘A’ certificate.

Now, sources reveal that Bhupathi is aiming for a different tone with the sequel. Mangalavaaram 2 is said to be crafted to resonate more with family audiences, potentially widening its appeal. While the original leaned heavily into psychological thrills and darker themes, the sequel is rumored to incorporate period elements with a devotional angle, marking a significant shift in storytelling approach.

Interestingly, Payal Rajput, who headlined the first film, will not be returning for the sequel. The director is reportedly in discussions with multiple actresses to lead the new narrative. A prominent production house is expected to come on board to bring this vision to life.

With a new direction and broader audience in mind, Mangalavaaram 2 is shaping up to be a fresh cinematic chapter under Ajay Bhupathi’s unique storytelling style.
