Director: Johnpaul George
Co-star: Chethan Jayalal

Status: Teased only. No title or date
Khalifa 2: The Legacy
Khalifa 2 is a Mohanlal-led sequel, not a Tovino film. It was announced on August 20 at the Khalifa post-release event, with Tovino returning as Iver Alexander, the character from his Khalifa cameo, according to Cinema Express.
Director: Vysakh (writer-producer: Jinu V Abraham)
Co-stars: Mohanlal, Prithviraj Sukumaran, Soubin Shahir

What this means for 2026
Only one Tovino appearance, the reported Bachelor Party D'eux cameo, has a date this year. Munpe and Gracias El Clasico are both shot and waiting for dates, which makes them the likeliest next Tovino-led releases once their makers confirm a slot.
