Sunny Wayne makes a strong comeback with back to back hits
Sunny Wayne has been on a rough patch for the last few years but the actor has now made a strong comeback with two back to back hit films — ‘Anugraheethan Antony’ and ‘Chathur Mukham’. Interestingly, his character names in both these films are the same — Antony.
In ‘Anugraheethan Antony’ directed by debutant Prince Joy, Sunny’s character has two shades — one as an easy-go-lucky loafer and as someone who helplessly goes through a major emotional breakdown. His innate charm and quintessential good looks helped him fit in convincingly in a guy-next-door role. The film is performing well at the box office and has turned out to be Sunny’s first solo hit in years.
‘Chathur Mukham’ has him sharing screen space with Manju Warrier for the first time. Though the film is mostly centred around her character, Sunny does make his presence felt with a neat performance. His on-screen bonding with Manju was a delight to watch as they play collegemates-turned-business partners in the film.
Sunny also has some other exciting projects coming up. He plays a major role in the much-hyped Dulquer Salmaan starrer ‘Kurup’. It is their fourth film together after ‘Second Show’, ‘Neelakasham Pacha Kadal Chuvanna Bhoomi’ and ‘Annmariya Kalippilannu’.
Sunny is also part of the Suresh Gopi-Joshiy film ‘Paappan’, ‘Saras’ starring Anna Ben and ‘9MM’ again with Manju Warrier. He is also playing his first cop role in ‘Kuttavum Shikhayum’ directed by Rajeev Ravi. Asif Ali and Sharafudheen will also be seen in major roles in it.
Apart from acting, Sunny is also venturing into production with the Nivin Pauly starrer ‘Padavettu’, directed by Liju Krishna. He had earlier backed a play titled ‘Moment Just Before Death’, which was also helmed by Liju Krishna.
