Fahad Fazal is one of the most talented actors in the Malayalam film industry, and is one of the few stars who dared to experiment with new age cinema.

He then made a comeback after nearly eight years with the film Kerala Cafe (2009). Fahad soon received recognition after his outstanding performance in films such as Chaappa Kurish (2011), Akam (2011), 22 Female Kottayam (2012) and Diamond Necklace (2012).
