Fahadh Faasil was ready to do a scene multiple times to improve my performance: Nimisha Sajayan

In her 4-year-long career, Nimisha Sajayan has successfully established herself as a strong performer who is capable of pulling off meaty roles. She is choosy about her projects and has mostly hand-picked roles that offer her scope for performance. Nimisha made her debut with the National-award winning ‘Thondimuthalum Driksakshiyum’, in which she got to share screen space with Fahadh Faasil, another remarkable performer. The two are acting together once again in ‘Malik’, which is awaiting release.

In a recent interview with Mathrubhumi, Nimisha revealed about how Fahadh used to motivate her to do better. She opened up about how Fahadh influenced her a lot right from her debut film itself. While acting in ‘Malik’, she found it very difficult to play the character well and it was Fahadh who used to motivate her. He would insist on taking more takes and was ready to do a scene multiple times to improve her performance.

In ‘Malik’, Fahadh Faasil plays the lead character of Sulaiman Malik and Nimisha is reportedly essaying his wife’s role. Directed by Mahesh Narayanan, it is a semi-period film that spans multiple timelines. Vinay Forrt, Joju George, Dileesh Pothan, Jalaja and many others are part of the film.

Sunny Wayne and Honey Rose in Aquarium; Watch trailer here

A new Malayalam film titled ‘Aquarium’ is getting ready to premiere on May 14 on Saina Play OTT. The film directed by T Deepesh was originally made in 2014 but got tangled in censor issues. The film then titled as ‘Pithavum Puthranum’ was not allowed for public exhibition. The reason stated by the CBFC was that the subject was likely to hurt the religious sentiments of the Christian community.

The film is set in a convent in a scenic high range. Two of the inmates, Sister Elsitta and Sister Jaseentha, perceive Jesus Christ in two ideological extremes. The abrasion of fantasy and reality augments the contention between them. Honey Rose and Rajshri Ponnappa play the two lead roles. The cast also includes Sunny Wayne and V K Prakash.

‘Aquarium’ is produced by Shaji Kannambeth under the banner of Kannambeth Productions.
