Fahadh Faasil’s next is ‘Malayankunju’

Actor Fahadh Faasil has been shooting for Dileesh Pothen’s ‘Joji’ and now, his next film is just announced.
The project, titled ‘Malayankunju,’ is expected to go on floors by the end of January next year, or the beginning of February, according to its makers. The film is directed by debutant Sajimon Prabhakaran and is scripted by Mahesh Narayanan.
The film’s intriguing poster, featuring Fahadh’s much-discussed eyes, and his gaze from two different angles, has already been triggering discussions online on what’s to be awaited in the new project.
Sajimon tells us, “The film’s shoot will be held entirely in Kerala and its story is quite unique, though we can’t divulge more at the moment.” Is Fahadh playing the eponymous character named Malayankunju in the film? “No, it’s not Fahadh’s character’s name,” Sajimon clarifies. The team is currently working on the casting of the film, he adds.
The movie has script, cinematography and editing by Mahesh Narayanan. Arju Ben will also be in charge of editing alongside Mahesh in the film, which has Sushin Syam as the music director.
Fahadh, who was seen last playing a Christian pastor in the Anwar Rasheed movie ‘Trance’ in early 2020, has quite a few other movies too lined up next, alongside ‘Malayankunju.’ The Mahesh Narayanan directorial ‘Malik,’ ‘Irul by Naseef Yousuf, Saheed Arafath’s movie ‘Thankam,’ in which he will be teaming up again with his ‘Maheshinte Prathikaram’ co-star Aparna Balamurali and Alphonse Puthren’s third directorial ‘Paattu’ are some of the other films that will feature the actor soon in the lead.
