Kumki 2 officially announced: Prabhu Solomon to helm sequel with a fresh story
The highly-anticipated sequel to the 2012 blockbuster Kumki has been officially announced, much to the delight of fans.
Titled Kumki 2, the film will be helmed by acclaimed director Prabhu Solomon, who also directed the original.
While the film shares its title with the original, Prabhu Solomon has clarified that Kumki 2 will not be a direct continuation of the first film’s storyline. Instead, it will feature a fresh narrative focusing on the unique bond between a young boy and a baby elephant.
The film will introduce debutants Mathi and Shrrita Rao in the lead roles, with supporting cast members including Arjun Das, Hareesh Peradi, and Suzane George.
The music for the film will be composed by Nivas K. Prasanna, a new addition to the franchise, who replaces D. Imman from the first installment.
Produced by Pen India Limited, Kumki 2 is currently in production. The team has reportedly completed two schedules in Thailand, where a specially trained elephant named Unnikrishnan will play the titular role.
