Director Dijo Jose Antony recently discussed the highly anticipated sequel to the 2022 blockbuster ‘Jana Gana Mana,’ starring Prithviraj. In a promotional interview for his upcoming film ‘Malayalee From India,’ Antony revealed that the success of ‘Jana Gana Mana’ has added significant pressure to the team as they work on ‘Jana Gana Mana 2.’
“The success of ‘Jana Gana Mana’ has made us feel a big responsibility. With the film being loved all over India, people expect a lot from the sequel, so we have to plan carefully,” Antony expressed.
Despite the pressure, Antony highlighted the excitement among audiences for both ‘Jana Gana Mana 2’ and his upcoming comedy venture, ‘Malayalee From India,’ starring Nivin Pauly and Anaswara Rajan. He emphasized the contrast in anticipation between the two films, noting that despite being in different genres, there is significant interest surrounding both projects.
As Antony focuses on the planning and scripting of ‘Jana Gana Mana 2,’ audiences are eagerly awaiting the release of ‘Malayalee From India,’ set to hit theaters on May 1. The comedy-drama follows the misadventures of a young man abroad.
