Actor Kalidas, son of veteran south Indian actor Jayaram, is all set to make his Malayalam debut through director’s Abrid Shine’s next movie. According to a Times Of India report, Kalidas will be playing a college student in the film which revolves around the life in a college campus. The movie is yet to be titled.
Abrid Shine, whose two previous films 1983 and Action hero Biju, were critical and commercial successes, told the TOI that the film would be entirely set on a campus. “It’s a role tailor-made for him (Kalidas),” he was quoted by TOI as saying. He added that the movie would go on floors next month in Ernakulam.
The actor shared his excitement on his Instagram page saying, “I am so happy to announce that my Malayalam debut is happening ! And it couldn’t get any better than to act in Shine chetan’s movie. I still remember Shine chetan taking my photos when I was a kid. It’s a great feeling to be back on home turf! The rest of the cast and crew will be announced soon.We will kick start shoot from next week (sic).”
The director had sent out a casting call for this movie in July on his Facebook page, looking for actors and singers between the age group of 18-25. Much like his previous films, this movie will also introduce a host of newcomers.
Although this marks Kalidas’ debut in Malayalam, the actor has already acted in two Tamil movies titled Oru Pakka Kathai and Meen Kuzhambum Mann Paanaiyum, which are yet to release. As a child actor, he was seen in Sathyan Anthikkad’s National award winning film, Kochu Kochu Santhoshangal. For his second film, Ente Veedu Appuvinteyum, he had received the National award for best child artist.
