Asif Ali and Kunchacko Boban Reunite for Mathukutty Xavier’s Big-Budget Period Drama

Malayalam cinema’s celebrated duo, Asif Ali and Kunchacko Boban, are all set to share screen space once again in director Mathukutty Xavier’s upcoming period action drama. Set in the 1970s, the film promises an intense narrative backed by a grand production scale. Bankrolled by Arun Narayan under Arun Narayan Productions, this big-budget venture is a significant shift for Mathukutty Xavier, best known for his survival thriller Helen. The film will commence production right after Asif Ali completes Tiki Taka, directed by Rohit VS, and is expected to resume shooting in March or April of this year.

Asif Ali and Kunchacko Boban have previously collaborated on multiple acclaimed films, including Traffic, Sevens, Ordinary, Rajamma@Yahoo.com, Take Off, and the blockbuster 2018. Their on-screen chemistry and compelling performances have consistently been well-received by audiences. With 2018 becoming one of Malayalam cinema’s biggest hits, their reunion in this period drama adds an extra layer of excitement for fans. The film’s screenplay, penned by Mukundan Unni Associates co-writer Vimal Gopalakrishnan, hints at a gripping narrative that blends action and drama.

While Asif Ali is currently busy with Mirage, a thriller directed by Jeethu Joseph, Kunchacko Boban has been making waves with critically acclaimed performances. Their collaboration under Mathukutty Xavier’s direction is expected to be an engaging cinematic experience, bringing historical authenticity and high-octane action to the forefront. More details regarding the film’s supporting cast and technical crew are awaited, but the anticipation is already high for this promising new venture.
