I don’t think there will be another movie like Take Off in my career: Fahadh Faasil

Editor Mahesh Narayanan’s directorial debut Take Off has entered it’s second week of theatrical run and is continuing it’s glorious run in all the release centres. The movie starring Parvathy Menon, Kunchako Boban, Fahadh Faasil and Asif Ali in major roles opened to overwhelmingly positive reports.

Industry insiders including superstars Mohanlal and Mammootty appreciated the movie. Kollywood star recently Suriya also recently appreciated the movie through a tweet.

One of the primary architects of the movie’s success, Fahadh Faasil in a recent interview opened up on how he became a part of Take Off. Apparently, Fahadh was not initially part of the movie during the discussion stages. Mahesh was planning to make another movie with Fahadh. In between that he told Fahadh about a movie he wanted to do with Kunchako Boban and Parvathy Menon. Upon producer Anto Joseph’s request, Fahadh heard the story and that happened to be Take Off. Later, he was he offered the Indian ambassador’s role in the movie.

Elaborating about why he agreed to do the movie, Fahadh said, “It is a story about Malayali nurses trapped in Iraq during the war period. I wanted the world to know more about the ordeal they underwent, their emotional turmoil and their survival through the medium of cinema. Also, Take Off in a way fulfilled the dreams of Rajesh Pillai a man who lived for cinema. I did not want to let go off this movie and I don’t think there will be another movie like Take Off in my life.

Fahadh played the role of Manoj Abraham, an Indian Ambassador in Take Off. With his restrained yet powerful performance, he fitted the bill perfectly as a diplomat. Like always, his eyes conveyed the stress and emotional constraints the character goes through while spearheading the rescue operations.

The movie was funded by Anto Joseph and Shebin Becker in association with Rajesh Pillai Films. Mekha Rajesh Pillai is the executive producer of the movie.

When it comes to style, I like Mammootty the most: Tovino Thomas

A celebrity off screen is always judged by the way he/she carries themselves. In glam worlds like Bollywood and Hollywood, the onlookers eyes are always on the styling and who they are wearing. Down South, especially in Mollywood there are only a very few actors who are conscious about their styling.

Mammootty is undoubtedly one of the most stylish actors in Mollywood. In fact, he will be up there in the top 10 list of most stylish veteran actors in Indian cinema. Mammootty carries himself with such flamboyance that it’s hard to believe that he is a 65 year old man.

The actor has a great sense of fashion and that is evident from how he dresses according to the event. Be it the traditional mundu or light fabric shirt for weddings or the suited dapper look for award nights, he will be the cynosure of all eyes.

Recently actor Tovino Thomas also confessed that he likes Mammootty the most when it comes to the style quotient. Tovino with his chiselled physique and uber cool looks can make any woman go week at the knees. He along with Dulquer Salmaan and Prithviraj are some of the actors from the younger generation who have an aesthetic style statement.

In a recent interview, Tovino elaborated about his admiration for Mammootty and his sense of styling.

He said, “Even after being such a senior actor, it’s amazing how he keeps himself updated. I came to know about the espadrilles model in shoes through Mammookka. He is a lot more stylish than the younger generation.

Mammootty’s latest release, The Great Father is a stylish revenge thriller. The veteran actor sporting the uber cool beard and leather jackets can give any youngster a run for their money.

Combination with Prithviraj clicked once again in Ezra: Tovino Thomas

Tovino Thomas is fast approaching the big league of stars in Mollywood. His last release Oru Mexican Aparatha is still running successfully in some centres and has already got the hit tag under it’s name.

Tovino’s growth from a supporting actor to a popular star is like a fairy tale. His acting career can be divided into before Ennu Ninte Moideen and after Ennu Ninte Moideen. It was his role Perumpparambil Appu in the RS Vimal directorial that made the audience to take notice of this young promising actor.

Ennu Ninte Moideen (ENM) was a game changer in Tovino’s career. The movie gave him a much needed image makeover who till then was mostly seen in the good looking guy next door roles. Though Tovino’s screen space was limited in ENM, he managed to create a lasting impact in the viewers mind.

Tovino credits Prithviraj for giving the break in his career. It was Prithvi who suggested Tovino for the role of Appu after being impressed with his performance in 7th Day. The two last worked together in the horror thriller Ezra which has crossed the 50 days theatrical run and is still continuing it’s successful run. In a recent interview, Tovino said he was glad that their combination clicked once again. His was a brief role as ACP Shafeer, a cop who enters the scene for an investigation. Though he doesn’t have many scenes, his chiselled physique and looks complemented well for a young police officer.

Prithviraj also recently congratulated Tovino for Oru Mexican Aparatha’s success and wrote in his Facebook page that he was happy to see Tovino’s growth as an actor/star.
