The crowds went crazy when the cast of the highly-anticipated movie Kandasamys: The Wedding made a grand entrance at Nu Metro Ballito Junction on Saturday night.

The sequel follows the hilarious Keeping up with the Kandasamys – South Africa’s number one movie at box office in 2017 which made R16.3 million and ran in cinemas for 12 weeks.

Directed by Jayan Moodley, the second movie is a rib-tickling family comedy and a proudly Durban production with a star studded cast featuring: Jailoshini Naidoo, Maeshni Naicker, Koobeshen Naidoo, Yugan Naidoo, Mishqah Parthiephal, Madhushan Singh and Mariam Bassa.

As the name suggests, the second movie is centred around the upcoming wedding of Jodi (Mishqah Parthiephal) and Prishen (Madhushan Singh).

As expected, their mothers – Jennifer Kandasamy (Jailoshini Naidoo) and Shanthi Naidoo (Maeshni Naicker) – create a lot of drama as they try to push their own agendas for the big day.

Their subtle (and not so subtle) yet always hilarious antics, recognisable by anyone who has ever had a wedding, create a rollicking comedy, with husbands adding a foil to an approaching potential pre-wedding melt-down.

During the meet and greet with their fans at Nu Metro, Jailoshini Naidoo said the sequel would not have happened without them.

“We cannot thank our audiences enough for their incredible support.

“Keeping Up With The Kandasamys drew thousands of patrons to cinemas nationally and while it was a story out of Chatsworth, its universal appeal was enjoyed by the greater South African audience which was wonderful to see.”
