Asif Ali to reunite with ‘Avarude Raavukal’ director Shanil Muhammed
Of late, Asif Ali has mostly chose to work with his bunch of friends and most of them have proved successful. The actor currently has a handful of promising projects in the pipeline. If reports are to be believed, Asif has signed for a new film with director Shanil Muhammed, with whom he worked last year in ‘Avarude Raavukal’.
Midhun Manuel Thomas of ‘Aadu’ fame is scripting the movie. Interestingly, this is the first time Midhun is scripting for another director ever since he made his debut in 2015 with Aadu. Before that he scripted the Nivin Pauly- Nazriya starrer ‘Om Shanthi Oshana’, which was directed by Jude Anthany Joseph.
Shanil Muhammed’s upcoming movie with Asif is said to be a fun entertainer. The director made a highly promising start with ‘Philips and the Monkey Pen’, which he co-directed with Rojin Thomas. His last outing ‘Avarude Raavukal’ was a rom-com starring Asif Ali, Unni Mukundan and Vinay Forrt in the lead roles. Upon release, it garnered mixed reviews and didn’t fare well at the box office.
Shanil Muhammed will be hoping to come up with a much better film this time. Asif meanwhile has B Tech gearing up for release. Mridul Nair, a former associate of VK Prakash is making his directorial debut with this movie. He also has Mandaram, Iblis and Vijay Superum Paurnamiyum coming up this year.
