Urvashi & Joju George unite for 'Aasha'; Aishwarya Lekshmi joins cast; Shoot begins

The upcoming film 'Aasha', featuring the talented actors Urvashi and Joju George, has officially gone on floors. The project kickstarted with a traditional pooja ceremony which was held at the historic Thrikkakkara Vamana Moorthy Temple.


The project promises to be a compelling multilingual project. Joju George, cinematographer Madhu Neelakandan, and director Safar Sanal lit the ceremonial lamp. Joju George gave the film’s first clap, while Madhu Neelakandan handled the switch-on duties.

Aishwarya Lekshmi joins an impressive ensemble cast

Adding to the film’s anticipation is the inclusion of Aishwarya Lekshmi who recently impressed the audiences with her stunning performance in Kamal Haasan's 'Thug Life'.



Veteran actor Vijayaraghavan and 'Pani' fame Ramesh Girija also play key roles. With dialogues and screenplay crafted by Joju George, Ramesh Girija, and Safar Sanal, the film promises a layered and gripping storyline.

'Aasha' aims for pan-Indian reach with five-language release; first look unveiled

'Aasha' is set for release in five major Indian languages and the title-look poster was also unveiled during the pooja. Joju George took to his Instagram handle to share the first look poster with a note that read, "Unveiling the Title Poster of ‘AASHA’." The first look poster exudes a vintage, artistic tone where we see an empty bird cage which is slightly open, symbolizing freedom or lost hope. Around the cage, we see lush flowers and thick greenery. 'Aasha's first look poster hints at a theme of emotional depth and beauty, amid conflicts.

With ‘Aasha’, debutant director Safar Sanal brings his vision to life, backed by a talented technical crew: Madhu Neelakandan handles cinematography, Shan Mohammed is on board as editor, and Midhun Mukundan composes the music. Ajayan Adat (sound design), Vivek Kalathil (production design), and Dinesh Subbarayan (stunts) round out the crew. Overall the expectations are quite high for the Joju George starrer.
