Nellikka
is
an
upcoming
Malayalam
movie
directed
by
Bijith
Bala.
It
was
earlier
reported
that
the
movie
has
Asif
Ali
playing
the
lead
role.
But
now,
its
scribe
PR
Arun
who
says
that
Asif
Ali
is
no
longer
a
part
of
their
movie
and
he
has
been
replaced
by
Deepak
Parambel.
Deepak
Parambol,
who
played
the
villain
in
the
movie
Thira,
is
all
excited
in
playing
the
lead
in
Nellikka.
The
movie
revolves
around
the
story
of
Balu,
essayed
by
Deepak.
He
is
a
die-hard
fan
of
Bob
Marley,
and
his
father,
an
ardent
fan
of
MS
Baburaj
-
the
renowned
composer-musician
from
Calicut.
The
film
is
not
a
musical
entertainer,
but
the
movie
traces
the
events
set
against
the
backdrop
of
Babukka's
music,
a
voice
much
loved
by
all
Malayalis.
Popular
Bollywood
actor
Atul
Kukarni,
who
was
last
seen
in
the
Malayalam
film
@Andheri,
will
play
the
role
of
a
bank
officer
in
Nellika.
The
movie
also
highlights
the
tale
of
friendship
between
two
brother-in-laws.
The
rest
of
the
cast
include
Sija
Rose,
Bau
and
many
others.
Arun
said
that
they
have
plans
to
cast
MG
Sasikumar
to
play
the
father's
role
in
the
movie.
But,
nothing
on
this
has
been
confirmed
yet.
Moreover,
he
added
that
he
cannot
reveal
anything
more
about
the
movie
as
it
has
many
twists
and
turns.
Deepak
is
currently
busy
with
John
Paul
Vaathil
Thurakunnu,
where
he
plays
the
lead
role.
