Empuran and Veera Dheera sooran, both released on OTT. Now both these films need an OTT success badly and reason being that they need to go for a sequel. Empuran did well in Kerala but not in other languages including Hindi. Empuran makers announced that third part will only complete the trilogy and if is a hit in OTT, it would give an intial bost to third part. Hindi version will release only 4 weeks later as per Multiplex owners condition in North India.

Vikram starrer is an average hit but not as big as it was expected. Here the makers released the second part and has to come with first part. If OTT version clicks all over South and also among those who have not seen it, the first part will get some expectation when released

Fahadh Faasil is said to have joined the Kerala schedule of Jailer 3 starring Rajinikanth and directed by Nelson. Mohanlal was part of te first part but whether he is part of the sequel we are not sure. Fahadh plays a negative role. Fahadh was part of Vettaiyan. Shivarajkumar has been confirmed and Balakrishna is sounded for a cameo. It is also learned that Jailer 2 will retain the prominent cast of Jailer. SJ Suryah is also said to be playing a crucial role in the film. Ramyakrishnan was seen at Kerala schedules. The film is currently slated for release during the summer season of 2026.
