Love is in the air… but the wait is getting a bit too long for fans of the cult-favorite Malayalam rom-com Premalu. After capturing hearts across the country earlier this year, the adorable duo Naslen K. Gafoor and Mamitha Baiju is set to return in Premalu 2. But before you start planning your watch party — hold on — there’s a delay in the love story’s next chapter.
From Box Office Darling to Streaming Sweetheart
Released in theatres on February 9, 2024, Premalu became an instant rage. What began as a regional sleeper hit soon went pan-India, thanks to its feel-good romance, quirky characters, and slice-of-life charm. Now streaming in Hindi on JioCinema, the film continues to win over new audiences every day.
The lead pair — Naslen as the awkwardly lovable Sachin and Mamitha as the fiercely independent Reenu — became the new-age poster couple for desi rom-coms. Their chemistry? A total masala mix of innocence, laughs, and slow-burn romance. Naturally, fans have been demanding a sequel since the credits rolled.

So, When Is Premalu 2 Releasing?
Here’s where it gets a little bittersweet. According to insiders (and a recent interview with producer Dileesh Pothan), the film hasn’t even started shooting yet. The team is still in the early stages of planning, which means Premalu 2 won’t be hitting screens anytime soon.
Pothan hinted that while the sequel is very much on the cards, the crew wants to give it the scale and polish it deserves. After all, Premalu didn’t just win hearts — it set a new benchmark for Malayalam rom-coms in the digital age.
What’s the Story So Far?
In case you missed the original, Premalu followed the hilariously bumpy journey of Sachin, a not-so-lucky-in-love youngster dreaming of the UK but ending up in Hyderabad to prep for exams. There, he meets Reenu, a fresh IT recruit with a no-nonsense vibe. What follows is a series of laugh-out-loud moments, emotional curveballs, and the kind of slow-blooming romance that makes you root for the underdog.
The supporting cast? Totally wacky — in the best way possible. From besties to bosses, every character added flavor to the story, making Premalu the ultimate comfort watch of the year.
What We Know About Premalu 2
One thing’s for sure — the OG jodi of Naslen and Mamitha is returning. And let’s be honest, who else could recreate that sweet, chaotic energy? Director Khalid Rahman, known for the recent Alappuzha Gymkhana, has reportedly been in talks for potential involvement, though nothing is confirmed.
Originally pegged for a 2025 release, Premalu 2 might now land in 2026, thanks to scheduling delays. But fans are holding on tight — because if the sequel promises the same heart, humor, and heat, it’ll be worth the wait.
Until Then, Love Is (Still) Brewing
While the official date is still under wraps, the buzz around Premalu 2 is real. From fan-made trailers to Reddit threads dreaming up plot twists, the anticipation is only getting stronger. And let’s face it — in a world of high-octane thrillers and mega-budget mythos, a simple, sweet love story feels like a warm cup of chai on a rainy day.
So, Premalu fam — hang tight. Sachin and Reenu’s next chapter is coming. It might take a little longer than expected, but hey, pyaar toh intezaar maangta hai, right?
Premalu 2 is shaping up to be more than just a sequel — it’s gearing up to be a full-blown rom-com dhamaka.
