Poorna, who was on a break, will be seen playing the lead in 'Manal Kayiru 2.'
The original starred SV Shekher and Visu, however, the sequel will have
Poorna romancing Shekher's son Ashwin. Talking about the project,
Shekher says, "It is not a remake, but a sequel, which will have Visu,
Kuriyakose Ranga and myself reprising our roles. In the original, I
played a guy who had a set of conditions that the girl I choose to marry
has to meet, in this film, Poorna plays my daughter, and she lays down
some conditions that the guy she will marry must meet. It's a GenX story
with a humorous plot."
The film will be directed by Madhan Kumar, who had earlier directed
Yaaruda Mahesh. Ask Shekher why he didn't direct this sequel himself,
and he says, "Many people have asked me this - well, we didn't want even
a trace of the old in this new film, and that's why we have chosen a
young director. We recently began shooting the film."
