Fahadh is the apt choice for the film, says Marthandan

After directing Mammootty and Prithviraj in films such as 'Acha Din' and 'Pavada',

Marthandan

is all set to direct the very versatile Fahadh Faasil in his next. The film will be scripted by

Vellimoonga

fame Joji Thomas. When asked about why Fahadh was chosen for the lead, in a recent interview, the director said that when Joji had narrated the story, the first actor who came to mind was Fahadh. He added that the actor has managed to prove his mettle over the years.

He said that the actor's performances in films such as 'Maheshinte Prathikaram' and 'Oru Indian Pranayakatha' has prompted them to cast him in their venture.
