Fahadh Faasil's 'Aavesham' release in April 2024

Actor Fahadh Faasil's upcoming Malayalam movie Aavesham will be released in theatres countrywide on April 11, 2024.

The actor, known for critically acclaimed titles such as Take Off, Thondimuthalum Driksakshiyum, Malik, and Joji, shared the news in a post on Facebook on Friday.


"AAVESHAM on its way !! Passing on to you from 11 April 2024," Faasil wrote alongside the film's poster.

Set in Bangalore, the film is directed by Jithu Madhavan of Romancham fame and features Fahadh in the role of a local gangster.

According to media reports, Aavesham is set in the same world as Romancham, which was released earlier this year.

Producer Anwar Rasheed's banner, Anwar Rasheed Entertainments, is backing the film, which is co-produced by Faasil's actor-wife Nazriya Nazim through their company Fahadh Faasil and Friends.

Besides Aavesham, Faasil will be next in Pushpa: The Rule, the sequel to the 2021 Allu Arjun-led blockbuster Pushpa: The Rise.

The actor recently joined the cast of megastar Rajinikanth's upcoming movie Vettaiyan, which also includes Amitabh Bachchan, Rana Daggubati, and Manju Warrier.

Yash says Ravana in Ramayana must connect with Western viewers as film eyes global audience

Highlights

  • Yash says he humanised Ravana to help global audiences relate to the character.
  • Asura designs in the first glimpse drew criticism for looking too Western-inspired.
  • Producer Namit Malhotra compares the film's tone to Lord of the Rings and Gladiator.
Yash, who plays the demon king Ravana in Nitesh Tiwari's Ramayana, says his portrayal was shaped by one clear goal: making the character relatable beyond Indian audiences.
Speaking at CinemaCon in Las Vegas this week, where the film was presented alongside major Hollywood releases, the actor said he worked to strip away the purely mythological reading of the role.

"I have tried to internalise the whole essence of Ravana and tried to make him as human as possible at times," Yash told Reuters.

"It is important for people to relate to him, and since we have global ambitions, we need to make it familiar to a Western audience as well."
