The first look poster Thamar KV's upcoming film, starring Asif Ali and Divya Prabha in lead roles, will be out on January 11 at 6 PM IST. The untitled film marks Thamar’s second directorial venture, following his critically acclaimed debut, 1001 Nunakal. The upcoming film is billed as a feel-good drama with elements of survival woven into its storyline.
While Divya plays the role of a nurse in the film, details about Asif’s character remain under wraps. It also features Deepak Parambol and Orhan in significant roles. On the technical front, Aeyaz serves as the cinematographer, while Govind Vasantha has composed the music. Produced by Ajith Vinayaka Films, the narrative is aimed at kids, as revealed by Asif in an earlier interview.
Thamar’s debut film, 1001 Nunakal, also set in the Gulf, delved into the lives of Malayali expatriates, and his latest project appears to continue his penchant for exploring stories rooted in expatriate experiences. In addition to his directorial work, Thamar recently co-produced and presented Feminichi Fathima, which achieved significant recognition at the 29th International Film Festival of Kerala.
Meanwhile, Asif is set to reunite with his Kooman director, Jeethu Joseph, for a new project co-starring Aparna Balamurali, slated to commence filming in January 2025. Later this year, the Rekhachithram actor is expected to resume shooting for Rohit VS’s Tiki Taka, which was temporarily halted following an injury he sustained during an action sequence. He also has debutant Sethunath Padmakumar's Abhyanthara Kuttavali in the pipeline.
Divya was last seen in Payal Kapadia's internationally acclaimed Malayalam-Hindi film All We Imagine As Light.
