The dream team from the first installment, including VKP and myself, is back. However, Jayasurya won’t be accompanying us this time. We’re scouting for the perfect replacement. Stay tuned! The shoot kicks off in Vancouver come January 2024.”
To amp up the excitement, the makers dropped a title poster, igniting sheer delight amongst fans.
