Fahadh Faasil
Actor Fahadh Faasil is currently gearing up for the release of his film Odum Kuthira Chaadum Kuthira. The film will be released on August 29 as part of the Onam calendar this year. The actor has been promoting the film and recently attended a college event along with his co-star Kalyani Priyadarshan. At the event, Fahadh channeled his popular character Ranga from Aavesham (2024). The film was a massive hit, and Fahadh's character gained nationwide popularity.
In a video now doing the rounds on social media, students can be heard cheering for Fahadh as he flaunted his moves on the stage. The actor goes into full Rnaga mode as students cheer him. He does his characters' popular dance and even asks Kalyani to join in. The students took out their phones and started recording the moment, capturing Fahadh's live performance. In the film, Fahadh played a Malayali-Kannadiga gangster named Ranjith Gangadharan aka Ranga, who lives in Bengaluru. His mannerisms, clothing and acting in the film had left the audience impressed. At the event, he was also accompanied by actress Revathi Pillai, producer Aashiq Usman, and director Althaf Salim.
The trailer shows Kalyani Priyadarshan telling Aby (Fahadh Faasil) that she's again had a dream of a plump horse that resembles white halwa. We then see Aby making efforts to find such a horse. Aby's friends tell him that Kalyani isn't just a little crazy but completely nuts. However, Aby is madly in love with Kalyani's character in the film and disregards their advice. After this, there is a twist to the plot. We get to know that there have been developments that have not augured well for the couple. Aby is seen doing a lot of stuff including indulging in surveillance. What happens then is what the light-hearted rom-com Odum Kuthira Chaadum Kuthira is all about. The film has triggered a lot of interest as this will be director Althaf Salim's second film after his debut film, âNjandukalude Naattil Oridavela', impressed both critics and film buffs.
The film, a light-hearted entertainer, went on floors in April 2024 and work on the film continued briskly with rumours in December 2024 on social media suggesting that the makers were considering releasing the film for Vishu this year. However, the film is to hit screens on August 29 for the festive occasion of Onam.
