I’ve learnt a lot about cinema and acting from Fahadh Faasil: Sharafudheen

Sharafudheen is getting unanimous appreciation for his performance in ‘Varathan’. As the menacing womanizer Pappali Josey, the actor has given his career best. Normally known for his sidekick fun roles, Sharaf has pulled off a remarkable act in Varathan. He credits his co-star Fahadh and director Amal Neerad for all the praise that he has been getting.

This is Sharafudheen’s third outing with Fahadh after sharing screen space with him in ‘Role Models’ and ‘Carbon’. Interestingly, it was director Alphonse Puthren who insisted Sharaf to take up the role in ‘Role Models’. Though it was a fun film, it helped him to look at cinema seriously.

Acting alongside an extraordinary performer like Fahadh, Sharaf could learn a lot about the intricacies of cinema and acting. Apart from the professional bonding, the two are also close friends in real life. They were supposed to play the lead roles in a new movie titled ‘Aanekilum Allenkilum’, but the project was recently dropped unfortunately.

Post ‘Varathan’, Sharafudheen is expected to bag some meaty roles in the future. He currently has Marthandan’s ‘Johny Johny Yes Appa’ and an untiled film with AK Sajan coming up. In Johny.., he is playing a major role as hero Kunchacko Boban’s brother. In AK Sajan’s film, which is a triangular love story, he will be seen as one of the leads along with Siju Wilson and Anu Sithara
