The upcoming Malayalam releases look promising and are expected to create a profound wave for the industry. How does ‘I am Kathalan’ become a different but notable approach?
‘I am Kathalan’ (Eng. I am A Lover) is expected to be a techno crime-drama thriller which is directed by Girish A.D, where producers Gokulam Gopalan for Sree Gokulam Movies, Dr. Paul Varghese for Dr.Paul’s Entertainment, along with Krishnamoorthy for Dream Big Films will be bankrolling the movie.
As the trailer suggests, a different track in the narrative is expected with a concept of cyber crimes and hacking as its main component, which has a character-driven nature, breaking the conventional nature of the director who has given previous hits like ‘Thanner Mathan Dinangal’ and ‘Premalu’, which were romantic-comedy flicks, as well as the third collaboration of the lead actor and director.
Moreover, the movie will be able to showcase a ‘stand out’ face of Mollywood with international content blended naturally into the local background with the hope of a well-written screenplay and conception.
On the contrary, the storytelling is also expected to bring some mystery elements blended with humour and romance that has closer similarities with a 2014 movie named ‘Salaala Mobiles’ where actors Dulquer Salmaan and Nazriya Nazim played the lead characters in the flick.
Although this movie didn’t become a commercial success, the upcoming movie is hoped to make it an engaging entertainer for the audience.
Furthermore, the technical labour includes the handling of cinematography by Sharan Velayudhan, editing overseen by debutant Akash Joseph Varghese, and screenplay by Sajin Cherukayil, who is also a debutant. Siddartha Pradeep composed the music and background scores for the effort.
Actor Naslen will be playing the lead character for the flick alongside actors LijoMol Jose, Dileesh Pothen, Anshima Anilkumar, Sajin Cherukayil, Kiran Josey, and Vineeth Vasudevan in pivotal roles.
The movie will be released on big screens on the 7th of this month and stay tuned in Binged for more updates regarding ‘I am Kathalan’.
