Thiruvananthapuram:
Fahad
Fazil,
a
lead
face
in
the
new
generation
actors
in
Malayalam,
has
walked
out
of
the
upcoming
movie
Iyer
In
Pakistan,
which
is
directed
by
debutante
Fazil.
The
young
actor
has
rejected
this
much-hyped
project
stating
that
the
screenplay
is
not
up
to
his
expected
mark.
Now,
Unni
Mukundan
will
essay
the
lead
role,
which
was
to
be
played
by
Fahad.
Iyer
In
Pakistan
is
produced
by
M
Mani
under
the
banner
of
Aroma
Productions.
Earlier,
Fahad
Fazil
had
signed
an
agreement
with
the
producer
to
star
in
the
film.
He
had
even
done
a
photo
shoot
for
it.
But
it
is
reported
that
Fahad
is
not
happy
with
the
screenplay
of
the
movie.
So
he
is
said
to
have
met
the
producer
and
told
him
about
his
opting
out
of
the
project.
Meanwhile,
he
has
reportedly
agreed
to
do
a
film
for
the
banner
in
the
future.
It
is
also
reported
that
director
Fazil
has
approached
Unni
Mukundan
for
the
role
in
Iyer
In
Pakistan.
Unni
is
said
to
be
impressed
with
the
story
and
has
accepted
to
play
the
role.
Currently,
he
is
busy
with
Ithu
Pathiramanal,
Orissa,
Samrajyam
II:
Son
of
Alexander,
Kaattum
Mazhayum
and
D
Company.
He
is
expected
to
take
up
Iyer
In
Pakistan
after
wrapping
up
his
present
projects.
Iyer
in
Pakistan
would
feature
Jagathy's
daughter
Sreelakshmy
and
Sanusha
in
the
female
leads.
It
should
be
recalled
here
that
Unni
Mukundan
had
earlier
replaced
Prithviraj
in
Mallu
Singh
that
propelled
to
star
status
and
his
first
hit.
It
should
be
seen
whether
Iyer
In
Pakistan
would
create
same
magic
for
the
actor.
