The first look of Mohiniyattam, the sequel to the 2024-released Bharathanatyam, has been unveiled. It is directed by Krishnadas Murali, who debuted with the first part.

The new film also reunites the principal cast, including lead actor Saiju Kurup, Kalaranjini, Sreeja Ravi, Jinil Rex, Jivin Rex, Divya M Nair, Swathi Das Prabhu, Sruthy Suresh, and Nandu Poduval, all of whom are featured in the first look poster. Jagadish, Suraj Venjaramoodu, Vinay Forrt, rapper Baby Jean, Nisthar Sait, and Santhosh K Nayar are some of the new additions to the cast.

Bharathanatyam was about a young man's struggle to protect a family secret amid a major domestic crisis and a nosy neighbourhood. Mohiniyattam, co-written by the director and Vishnu R Pradeep, is a continuation of the same storyline, but will explore a different genre. It is produced by Lini Mariam David of Thomas Thiruvalla Films, in association with Anupama B Nambiar of Saiju Kurup Entertainments, who also collaborated on the first film.

Saiju is currently shooting for Aaram, a thriller which will see the actor in the role of a police officer. It is written by Vishnu Ramachandran and directed by Rajesh Parameswaran. Saiju is also part of MA Nishad's Lurk and Midhun Manuel Thomas's biggie Aadu 3.
