The film, reportedly, will have a October 2015 release.
Aashiq, who entered Mollywood with Daddy Cool in 2009, shot to fame with the critically acclaimed 22 Female Kottayam which was released in 2012. It had Rima Kallingal, who later became his life partner, playing a Bangalore-based nurse seeking revenge against the men who sexually and emotionally assaulted her.
Aashiq’s last film – Gangster, starring Mammootty, fell flat at the box office, garnering extremely bad reactions from critics.
