Yesterday
(October
19),
actor
Fahadh
Faasil
shared
the
title
poster
of
Kunchacko
Boban's
next
thriller
Nizhal
on
Facebook.
Notably,
the
actor
will
be
sharing
screen
space
with
South
siren
Nayanthara
after
12
years.
The
ambitious
project
will
be
helmed
by
debutant
Appu
N
Bhattathiri,
who
is
already
known
for
editing
many
Malayalam
films
and
even
won
Kerala
state
film
award
of
best
editing
for
the
film
Ottamuri
Velicham
(2017).
Ever
since
the
film
was
announced,
fans
can't
wait
to
see
Nayanthara
and
Kunchacko
Boban
together
after
a
long
time.
For
the
unversed,
the
duo
was
last
seen
together
in
a
song
titled,
'Twenty-20'.
Amidst
all,
a
latest
report
published
in
a
leading
portal
suggests
that
Nayanthara
is
taking
a
pay
cut
for
Nizhal.
Nayanthara
is
reportedly
slashing
her
fees
to
compensate
producers'
losses
during
the
lockdown
in
the
country.
Interestingly,
Kunchacko
Boban
suggested
Nayanthara's
name
for
the
female
lead
role
in
Nizhal.
After
reading
the
script,
the
south
siren
loved
it,
and
the
makers
immediately
decided
to
start
working
on
the
project.
Coming
back
to
pay
cut,
when
the
actor
was
asked
about
the
same,
he
told
Times
of
India,
"For
me,
there's
only
gain
-
to
work
during
the
pandemic
and
be
part
of
such
a
good
project,
which
also
has
a
lot
of
great
talents,
including
Theevandi
director
Fellini
TP
who
is
involved
in
its
creative
side."
Meanwhile,
Nizhal's
script
has
been
written
by
newcomer
S
Sanjeev.
Sooraj
S
Kurup
will
be
composing
the
songs
and
background
music
of
the
same.
Nizhal
is
being
produced
by
the
banners
Anto
Joseph
Film
Company,
Melange
Film
House
and
Tentpole
Movies.
It
will
go
on
the
floors
in
January
2021.
