The CID Moosa sequel
Dileep and Johny Antony confirmed the sequel to CID Moosa during the promotion of their recent film, Voice of Sathyanathan. Dileep revealed that they have plenty of ideas for the movie but are still looking for more material to make the sequel even better than the first part. He explained that the first part focused on the character of CID Moosa and his dog, Arjun. However, they plan to expand the story in the sequel and make it bigger. The original movie was written by Udaykrishna and Sibi K Thomas, who later parted ways to work on individual scripts. Udaykrishna went on to write popular films like Pulimurugan and Pokkiriraja.
