Manichitrathazhu,
the
all
time
blockbuster
movie,
directed
by
Fazil,
will
soon
have
a
sequel.
The
second
part
of
Manichitrathazhu,
which
has
been
titled
as
Nagavalli,
will
hit
the
theatres
soon.
Interestingly,
the
dubbed
version
of
Nagavalli,
the
popular
Telugu
movie
is
releasing
as
Manichitrathazhu
sequel
in
Malayalam.
Nagavalli
itself
is
the
remake
of
Kannada
movie
Aptharakshaka,
the
sequel
of
Apthamitra,
the
Kannada
remake
of
Manichitrathazhu.
Anushka
Shetty
will
play
the
title
role
Nagavalli
in
the
movie.
Bhagyalakshmi,
who
has
dubbed
for
Shobana
in
Manichitrathazhu,
will
lent
her
voice
for
Anushka
in
the
movie.
Venkatesh
Daggubati
essays
the
lead
role
in
the
movie.
Malayali
audience
has
always
accepted
the
dubbed
versions
of
Telugu
movies
wholeheartedly.
Popular
Telugu
actors,
including
Allu
Arjun,
Ramcharan
Teja,
Anushka
Shetty
etc
has
huge
fan
following
among
the
Malayali
audience.
At
the
same
time,
the
idea
of
sequels
and
remakes
hasn't
gone
well
with
the
Malayalam
movie
industry.
Despite
some
rare
sequels
like
Oru
CBI
Diary
Kurippu
series,
Ramji
Rao
Speadking
&
Mannar
Mathai
Speaking,
Kireedan
&
Chengol
etc,
none
of
the
others
has
tasted
success.
Geethanjali,
the
spin-off
of
Manichitrathazhu,
directed
by
Priyadasrhan
was
a
critical
and
commercial
disaster.
So,
the
future
of
the
Manichitrathazhu
sequel
is
quite
unpredictable
in
the
current
scenario
of
Malayalam
movie
industry.
