Naslen's next big-screen project now has an official release date. The makers announced on Tuesday that 'Mollywood Times' will arrive in cinemas on May 15. This marks another major theatrical outing for the popular actor.
A Film About the Film Industry
Director Abhinav Sunder Nayak, known for 'Mukundan Unni Associates,' helms this new venture. While the exact storyline remains secret, early hints suggest the film explores the world of cinema itself. The first-look poster already teased this cinematic backdrop.
Ashiq Usman produces the project, with Ramu Sunil handling the script. Sunil previously co-wrote the Asif Ali film 'Rekhachithram.' The technical team brings together notable talent. Viswajith Odukkathil serves as cinematographer, while Jakes Bejoy composes the music. Editing duties fall to Nidhin Raj Arol and director Abhinav Sunder Nayak.
Naslen's Busy Schedule
Naslen continues to maintain a packed lineup of projects. His last appearance was in 'Lokah Chapter One: Chandra.' Currently, he works on multiple high-profile films.
The actor joins Asif Ali in the upcoming 'Tiki Taka.' He will also feature in director Jithu Madhavan's next project alongside Suriya. Another significant role comes in Tharun Moorthy's 'Torpedo,' which stars Fahadh Faasil, Arjun Das, and Ganapathi.
Reports from Cinema Express indicate even more projects. Naslen might appear in Amal Neerad's 'Bachelor Party D'eux,' the sequel to the 2012 action thriller. An upcoming Mammootty film directed by Khalid Rahman could also feature the actor.
Competitive Box Office Weekend
May 15 promises to be a crowded weekend at the box office. 'Mollywood Times' will not release alone. Two other anticipated films target the same date.
'Athiradi' features Tovino Thomas, Basil Joseph, and Vineeth Sreenivasan in lead roles. Meanwhile, 'Kattalan' headlines Antony Varghese Pepe. This trio of releases sets up a direct competitive clash. Audiences will have multiple options, making it an interesting weekend for Malayalam cinema.
The simultaneous release of three major films creates excitement and uncertainty. Each movie brings different stars and creative teams. Box office performance will reveal which film captures audience attention most effectively.
