As the teaser of Sathyan Anthikad's Hridayapoorvam continues to trend online, Fahadh Faasil’s visit to Mohanlal’s Kochi residence has caught fans’ attention. Accompanied by his wife Nazriya Nazim and brother Farhaan Faasil, Fahadh was seen spending time with the veteran actor and his family. Photos shared by Farhan and Mohanlal’s close friend Sameer Hamsa were captioned “A Night to Remember” and quickly went viral. Also present were Mohanlal’s son Pranav Mohanlal and his wife Suchitra Mohanlal. This isn’t the first time Fahadh’s family has visited the veteran actor’s home, as Sameer had previously offered glimpses of their camaraderie.
The timing of the visit has delighted fans, especially since the teaser of Hridayapoorvam features a light-hearted exchange about Fahadh. In the clip, a North Indian character tells Mohanlal that "FaFa" is his favourite Malayalam actor. When Mohanlal asks, “Who’s FaFa?”, he replies enthusiastically, “Fahadh Faasil.” Mohanlal then notes there are other good senior actors too, only for the fan to insist, “No, only FaFa.” The playful scene has struck a chord online, with fans celebrating the mutual respect between two generations of Malayalam cinema.
Hridayapoorvam and Fahadh’s Odum Kuthira Chaadum Kuthira are both slated for Onam release, on August 28 and 29, respectively.
