Fahadh Faasil's 'Malayankunju' to stream on Prime Video from Aug 11

By PTI

MUMBAI: Actor Fahadh Faasil’s survival drama film ‘Malayankunju’ will make its OTT debut on Prime Video on August 11, the streamer announced Monday.

The Malayalam-language film is written by Mahesh Narayanan and directed by Sajimon Prabhakar.

Also starring Rajisha Vijayan and Indrans in pivotal roles, ‘Malayankunju’ is an emotional story of survival, when a man gets trapped in a landslide.

According to a press release, the film has been shot 40 feet under the ground level and has surreal sequences that lift a usual survival story to a different level.

Faasil said ‘Malayankunju’ turned out to be “one of his toughest movies” of his career.

“‘Malayankunju’ is one of the toughest films that I have shot so far. The second half of the film is set 40 feet underground, so we had to create a set where we had to crouch and crawl,” Faasil, who turned 40 on Monday, said in a statement.

Released in theatres on July 22, the film received rave reviews from the critics and the viewers.

It follows the journey of Anil (Fahad), who is an ill-tempered electronics technician leading a quiet life with his mother.

“His daily routines are disrupted when his neighbour’s new born baby stirs up undesirable memories from his past.

A person with many shades, Anil’s connection with the baby and his struggles to survive under the rubble of an intense landslide forms the crux of the narrative,” the official synopsis read.

“Malayalam cinema hasn’t seen a film like this in recent times and I am glad that the audiences and critics have appreciated our efforts.

Our industry has been loved by a global audience and we are excited for my fourth collaboration with Prime Video after ‘CU Soon’, ‘Joji’ and ‘Malik’.

“I look forward to ‘Malayankunji’ reaching out to a vast audience through this streaming platform and can’t wait to hear from a new set of audience, he said.

Prabhakar heaped praise on his leading man and said the actor has delivered a wonderful performance in the film.

“‘Malayankunju’ is a riveting story and Fahadh is just brilliant in it. Despite the tough circumstances, Fahadh gave a wonderful performance which has been applauded by cinephiles. Now we are looking forward to understanding how audiences worldwide react to this gripping thriller,” the director said.
