The Malayalam film industry is set for a vibrant new entry titled 'Disco', which brings together popular actors Antony Varghese and Arjun Ashokan for the first time. The makers have officially launched the intriguing first look poster, generating significant buzz among fans and cinephiles.
A First Look Packed with Mayhem and Mystery
The unveiled poster for 'Disco' is a visual spectacle of controlled chaos. It depicts a frenetic brawl scene populated by an unexpected mix of characters. Viewers can spot iconic fictional figures like Captain Jack Sparrow, the Joker, Jason Voorhees, Che Guevara, and Batman alongside individuals wearing animal masks. This eclectic collage has successfully piqued curiosity, as the poster deliberately keeps the film's plot and genre under wraps.
Scripted by actor-writer Chemban Vinod, 'Disco' marks the second directorial venture of Ullas Chemban. The director made his debut with the 2024 film 'Anchakkallakokkan'. The new project boasts a formidable ensemble cast that includes Lukman Avaran, Dev Mohan, Chemban Vinod, Sreenath Bhasi, and Vishnu Unnikrishnan alongside the two leads.
The Creative Team Behind 'Disco'
Director Ullas Chemban reunites with several key technicians from his first film for this project. The technical crew includes cinematographer Armo, editor Rohit VS Variyath, and music director Manikandan Ayyappa. Ashwath Swaminathan is the colorist, while Gokul Das handles the production design.
The action sequences, a pivotal element hinted at in the poster, are choreographed by Kalai Kingson. Other crucial departments are led by makeup artist Ronex Xavier, costume designer Melwy J, and sound designer R Kannadasan. This collaboration of proven talent suggests a high-quality cinematic experience.
What the Stars are Doing Concurrently
Meanwhile, the lead actors are busy with other promising projects. Antony Varghese is currently working on 'Kattalan', a big-budget film that delves into the world of ivory smuggling. On the other hand, Arjun Ashokan is gearing up for the release of 'Chatha Pacha: The Ring of Rowdies'.
Set against the vibrant wrestling culture of Fort Kochi, 'Chatha Pacha' promises to be a packed entertainer blending action, humor, and character-driven narratives. The film is scheduled for a theatrical release on January 22, and its recently released promo song has already garnered substantial attention.
The announcement of 'Disco' and its unique first look has successfully set the stage for one of the most anticipated Malayalam films in the pipeline. With a stellar cast, a creative director, and a mysterious premise, the film is poised to make waves upon its eventual release.
