Aadu 3 In The Works As Director Midhun Manuel Thomas Promises One Last Adventure

Writer-director Midhun Manuel Thomas is returning with the third part of his highly-acclaimed comedy entertainer Aadu. Thomas hinted that this upcoming part would mark the final film in the series.

Taking to Instagram, he shared an image of the first page of the script displayed on a laptop screen. The screen of the project document read, ‘Aadu 3 – One last ride’. In the caption, he wrote, “Been away for a while – to the remote past, to the distant future, surfing through the turbulent present..!! And finally, they are gearing up for one ambitious ‘Last Ride’..!!”

As soon as it was posted online, it went viral and flooded with comments from movie buffs who were eagerly waiting for the third part of the film. “Most Awaited update,” one user wrote, while another said, “Great line.. one last ride.” It is centred around Shaji Paappan, played by Jayasurya and his tug-of-war team members.

It features an ensemble cast that includes actors Vinayakan, Sunny Wayne, Saiju Govinda Kurup, Aju Varghese, Indrans, Vijay Babu and other prominent actors in prominent roles. Vijay Babu is producing the film under the banner of Friday Film House. In addition, the music director for the first two films, Shaan Rahman, will return to compose the third instalment.

The first instalment hit the big screens in February 2015, but it did not mint satisfying numbers and was a box office failure. The film gained popularity once it was telecasted. The makers even decided to try a sequel in 2017, which became a massive theatrical hit. Reportedly, the third part of the film will be released in 3D. Further updates from the makers are expected to be unveiled soon.

Meanwhile, Thomas had recently completed filming for his upcoming Disney+ Hotstar series Anali. The Leona Lishoy and Nikhila Vimal-starrer, based on the Koodathayi killings. Lishoy announced the same by sharing a video through her social media, writing, “8 months of being Mariya.” It is based on a series of unnatural deaths suspected to be murders that occurred in Koodathayi, also referred to as the Jolly Joseph Cyanide Case.
