Malik,
the
upcoming
Fahadh
Faasil
starrer
has
been
postponed
indefinitely
due
to
novel
coronavirus
pandemic.
But,
the
period-political
thriller
has
now
finally
got
a
release
date.
The
Mahesh
Narayanan
directorial
is
slated
to
have
a
theatrical
release
on
May
13,
2021,
as
the
Eid
special.
The
exciting
update
was
confirmed
by
Fahadh
Faasil
himself
through
his
official
Facebook
page,
recently.
The
actor
shared
the
release
date
announcement
poster
of
Malik
on
his
page
and
wrote
"#Malik
in
Theatres
from
May
13,
2021".
The
update
has
come
out
as
a
great
relief
for
the
fans
of
the
actor-director
duo,
as
well
as
the
Malayalam
cinema
audiences,
who
have
been
eagerly
waiting
for
the
project
from
the
beginning
of
2020.
If
the
reports
are
to
be
believed,
several
leading
OTT
platforms
had
approached
the
makers
for
the
online
streaming
rights
of
Malik.
But
the
makers
of
the
Fahadh
Faasil
starrer
later
made
it
clear
that
the
movie
will
only
release
in
the
theatres,
as
it
deserved
to
be
watched
on
the
big
screen.
Thus,
the
project
that
marked
the
second
collaboration
of
Fahadh
Faasil
and
director
Mahesh
Narayanan
was
delayed
indefinitely.
Instead,
the
actor-director
duo
teamed
up
for
the
highly
acclaimed
Amazon
Prime
Video
original
film,
C
U
Soon.
The
project,
which
was
completely
shot
on
iPhone
and
re-designed
on
the
editing
table,
was
well-received
by
the
cine-goers
across
the
globe.
Coming
to
Malik,
the
project
features
Fahadh
Faasil
in
the
titular
role,
Sulaiman
Malik.
The
actor
is
appearing
in
three
different
get-ups
in
the
film,
which
is
narrated
through
various
time
periods.
Joju
George
essays
a
pivotal
role
in
the
Mahesh
Narayanan
directorial,
that
features
Nimisha
Sajayan
as
the
female
lead.
Malik
is
produced
by
Anto
Joseph,
under
the
banner
Anto
Joseph
Film
Company.
