Askar Ali is a rustic youth in his next film Chembarathipoovu

Actor Asif Ali's brother and newbie actor Askar Ali has almost wrapped up his debut project

Honey Bee 2.5

, but he has already bagged yet another film, and a romcom at that.

The film, titled

Chembarathipoovu

, will be scripted and directed by editor-turned-filmmaker Arun Vaiga.
The filmmaker says that the movie has a village setting and Askar plays a rustic youth in it. 'The film will focus more on romance than the humour track. We can't speak much about his character yet, but can say that he is a loveable but unique person. We are planning to start the film in the second week of March and it will have Alappuzha and North Kerala as the primary locations,' Arun says.

As for Askar, he is quite excited to have bagged a romcom at a time when he is just completing his first film. 'I will have to work hard to get into the skin of the character in Chembarathipoovu, in terms of both looks and characterisation. And I'm quite excited to try out the role,' he says. Poomaram fame Santhosh is the cinematographer for the movie, which has newbie A R Rakesh as the music composer.
