In case you guys didn’t know this already, Fahadh Faasil’s latest Malayalam feature film ‘Malik‘ will premiere on Amazon Prime Video in five days. When the film drops directly for streaming in a few days, Fahadh will set and/ or break multiple Malayalam film records (and probably some Indian film industry ones as well). However, the film also has another major significance in the actor’s illustrious career – this will be Fahadh’s longest onscreen narrative sequence which he will perform on screen for a character, which spans over 30 years.
Fahadh has given us multiple memorable characters such as Prakashan from ‘Njan Prakashan’, Pastor Joshua from ‘Trance’, Shivadas from ‘Bangalore Days’, Indian Ambassador Manoj Abraham from ‘Take Off’, Aloshy from ‘Iyobinte Pusthakam’ and of course the infamous Shammi from ‘Kumbalangi Nights’. These are just the wide variety of roles he has played in the past decade, spanning over 45 movies (reaching 50). Nearly each character he has shown on screen has been different, but none of these portrayed characters ever had a long life onscreen, as his character in ‘Malik’. This will be the first time Fahadh Faasil will be portraying a character that grows old on screen – showing us various situations the character gets up to, over a period of 30 years.
This highly anticipated coastal-city based crime thriller was expected to release in theatres last year, but the (first wave of the) coronavirus pandemic ruined the film’s initial release date. After the second release date (which was set during March 2021) also had to be stopped (due to the second wave of the coronavirus), the film producer, Anto Joseph, opted to release the film directly onto an OTT platform.
With the OTT release date finally set on 15th July 2021, check out Malik on the aforementioned date on Amazon Prime Video.
