While fans were calling it The Kerala Story 2, Vipul Amrutlal Shah and his production house, Sunshine Pictures, have opted for the title Beyond The Kerala Story. This shift in naming suggests that the film will not be limited to one region but will explore stories and “hidden truths” from various parts of the country.
Unlike the first film, which was directed by Sudipto Sen, the sequel will be helmed by Kamakhya Narayan Singh. The makers have promised that this installment will be “bigger in terms of scale and deeper in terms of narrative.”
The announcement was accompanied by a powerful motion poster featuring a tagline that has already sparked conversations online “They said it was just a story. They tried to silence it. They tried to discredit it. But the truth didn’t stop. Because some stories don’t end. This time, it goes deeper. This time, it hurts more.”
Reports indicate that Beyond The Kerala Story will feature an entirely new cast. Vipul Amrutlal Shah is reportedly looking to introduce fresh talent to maintain an “authentic and organic” feel, similar to how the first film relied on strong performances rather than massive star power.
The original The Kerala Story was one of the highest-grossing films of 2023, earning over ₹300 crore globally and winning two National Film Awards. While it faced significant controversy, it also found a massive audience that resonated with its themes.
With Beyond The Kerala Story, the team aims to Move past the borders of Kerala to highlight similar issues happening across India. The film is expected to be based on real-life accounts and testimonies of survivors.The promotional material suggests a more emotional and hard-hitting approach than the predecessor.
As the release date of February 27, 2026, approaches, more details regarding the trailer and the new cast are expected to be revealed by Sunshine Pictures. To know such latest updates tuned to tellyboosters.com Thank you!
