The makers of Idhayam Murali revealed an entirely different version of actor Atharvaa Murali on Sunday. The makers unveiled a video announcing that the actor has completed dubbing for the film. In the video, there's a small portion featuring his makeover for his character in the upcoming film. The portions give us a glimpse into a charming avatar of actor Atharvaa.
Directed and produced by Aakash Baskaran, Idhayam Murali also stars Fahadh Faasil, VJ Rakshan, Dravid Selvam and music composer Thaman, who is making a return to acting after a long time. He made his acting debut with director Shankar's Boys (2003), which remains his only film with a full-fledged role.
The film, also starring Kayadu Lohar and Preity Mukhundhan as female leads, features Niharika NM, Sudhakar Jayaraman, Natty, Anju Kurian, Angelin B and Yashashree Rao in supporting roles.
Atharvaa makes his second collaboration with producer-director Aakash Baskaran, who has backed the actor's Parasakthi, directed by Sudha Kongara, in which he starred alongside Sivakarthikeyan, Sreeleela and Ravi Mohan.
On the technical front, the film has music by Thaman S, cinematography by Manoj Paramahamsa, editing by Pradeep E Ragav, costumes by Pallavi Singh, and Karthik Rajkumar. Dravid Selvam also doubles up as the film's additional dialogue writer, alongside Aakash Baskaran. Idhayam Murali is gearing up to open in theatres on July 10.
Atharvaa was last seen as Sivakarthikeyan's younger brother in Parasakthi. Up next, he is set to star in a dual role in Valai, directed by Jeeva Sankar, that is set against a coastal backdrop. Interestingly, the film stars Atharvaa as Kutty and Saraa, youngsters who are part of a coastal community. In the pipeline, he also has the long-delayed Address, which is yet to see the light of day.
