Adios Amigo postpones its release

Ashiq Usman, the producer of Adios Amigo, starring Asif Ali and Suraj Venjaramood, has announced that the film will not release as planned on August 2, in light of the torrential rains in Kerala and the Wayanad landslides. In the announcement post on Instagram, he said, "As we cope with the incessant rains and the calamity that has struck Wayanad, our hearts go out to the families and loved ones who have suffered unimaginable loss.
