While Kumbalangi Nights is winning rave reviews, Fahadh Faasil’s second release of the year has already been announced. Titled Athiran, the movie features Sai Pallavi in the female lead and is directed by debutant Vivek.
Athiran has been written by P.F.Mathews – the scriptwriter of last year’s critically acclaimed movie Ee. Ma. Yau. Talking to Silverscreen, the writer says, “It’s a thriller set in a mental hospital in a hill station and Fahadh Faasil essays the role of doctor.” A major portion of the movie has been shot in Ooty.
“Sai Pallavi plays one of the two lead characters in the movie. Prakash Raj appears in pivotal role, although it is not a full-fledged one,” he says. Atul Kulkarni plays a character that appears throughout the movie. “The film is currently in post-production,” he adds. Ranji Panicker is also part of the cast. The first look of the movie was launched by Mohanlal.
