Trailer of Pranav Mohanlal’s Aadhi trending at the top in YouTube

Pranav Mohanlal’s much awaited debut film as a lead actor Aadhi is gearing up to hit screens early next year. Directed by Jeethu Joseph, Aadhi is said to be an action thriller. The movie’s official trailer was released last Thursday (December 21). Even after almost a week since its release, the trailer is still trending at the number one position in YouTube.

Aadhi’s trailer is a typical Jeethu Joseph style one with no loud music or flashy cuts. A very simple trailer that gives a sneak-peak to the protagonist Aadhi’s life. Pranav Mohanlal plays Adithya Mohan aka Aadhi in the movie. He is an aspiring musician living with his parents in Kochi. Things take a turn once he lands in Bangalore.

Lena and Siddique play Pranav’s parents in the movie. Noted Telugu actor Jagpathi Babu, who was last seen in Malayalam in Mohanlal’s Pulimurugan, is the villain in Aadhi. Anusree, Sharafudheen, Aditi Ravi, Sijoy Varghese, Siju Wilson, Nobi, Tony Luke and Krishna Shankar form the supporting cast.

Pranav’s performance in the fight sequences is said to be the movie’s major highlight. Prior to the movie’s shoot, he had undergone training in Parkour for a few months in Bangkok as his character in the movie demanded such traits. Foreign stunt masters were flown in to choreograph the stylish Parkour scenes.

Satheesh Kurup is cranking the camera and Ayoob Khan is in charge of the edits. Interestingly, Pranav has also penned and lent his voice for an English retro track in the movie. Anil Johnson, a regular in Jeethu Joseph films, is handling the music department in Aadhi as well.

Antony Perumbavoor is producing this movie under the banner of Aashirvad Cinemas. The makers are eyeing a Republic Day release in January but an official confirmation regarding the same has not yet been made.
