End of Bramayugam: Mammootty's latest film may have a sequel
Bramayugam completed its debut weekend with a resounding triumph, earning blockbuster status at the box office. The amalgamation of Mammootty's enigmatic presence, Rahul Sadasivan's directorial prowess and unconventional black and white cinematography left audiences and critics in awe.
Moreover, due to the open ending of Bramayugam, viewers are wondering if there will be a sequel or not. Director Rahul Sadasivan addressed these speculations in a recent interview with Kaumudy Movies. He emphasized that the film was originally planned “as a single film”. However, he tantalizingly hinted at the possibility of a sequel in the future, keeping the door ajar for fans to dream about what might come next.
Furthermore, the director added, “I put all my energy into this film and that energy is gone. The ending is set up in such a way that it is left up to interpretation. A sequel may or may not happen.”
Rahul Sadasivan also shed light on whether Bramayugam is scary or not as concerns were raised when the initial posters and teasers received remarkable feedback. Based on the same and the director's previous work, viewers expected the film to be a horror classic. However, it is not so. Sadasivan elaborated, “I would call it a mystery thriller or a psychological thriller with horror elements. It's not a conventional horror film that will give you chills the entire time.”
Further, commenting on the audience reaction after the poster and teaser were revealed, he added, “People started assuming that it would scare them a lot, probably because of my previous film, Bhoothakalam. Since Bramayugam is not meant to scare people that much, we decided to highlight it as much as possible.”
In conclusion, while Bramayugam 2 is not currently on the cards, the door remains ajar for the possibility of a sequel.
