After the success of Vaazha II: Biopic of a Billion Bros, social media content creators-turned-actors Hashir and Ameen are set to reunite for an upcoming film, titled Njodi: One More Time. Announced earlier this Saturday, the film is written and directed by JS Jithin and also stars Lukman Avaran and Chandu Salimkumar in important roles. It is set to be produced by Amal Paulson and Tony Jose under their Sooper Dooper Films banner, in association with Midnight Sun Films.
The film is expected to commence production soon. The makers are yet to disclose any specific details regarding its story or genre. They have only released a title poster so far and are expected to announce further details about the project in the near future.
The pairing of Hashir and Ameen with Lukman and Chandu Salimkumar have generated much excitement among content creators, film personalities and fans.
Several of them, including director and Vaazha franchise writer Vipin Das, Athiradi writer Arun Anirudhan, Naslen, Roshan Mathew, Neeraj Madhav, Lokah filmmaker Dominic Arun, and more responded positively to the news. Hashir's Vaazha II co-stars such as Ajin, Alan, Aju Varghese, and Vinayak also welcomed the news wholeheartedly.
Hashir shared the Njodi: One More Time title poster and asked for the audience's continued support for him and his cinema. Hashir's popularity has skyrocketed after the bumper success of Vaazha II, with his Instagram follower count even surpassing the likes of Naslen. The film's success made his fans share a reel multiple times where he can be seen saying that he would take Malayalam cinema to the next level. Meanwhile, Ameen's credits include films such as Prakambanam and Detective Ujjwalan as well.
Coming back to Njodi, its production banner Sooper Dooper Films is known for backing critically acclaimed and commercially successful films such as Jaya Jaya Jaya Jaya Hey and Falimy, starring Basil Joseph in important roles.
