Malayankunju,
the
upcoming
survival
drama
that
features
Fahadh
Faasil
in
the
lead
role,
has
finally
started
rolling.
The
project,
which
is
produced
by
the
veteran
filmmaker
Fazil,
went
on
floors
in
Erattupetta,
Kottayam,
on
January
28,
Thursday.
The
pooja
ceremony
of
Malayankunju
was
held
at
Erattupetta
in
the
presence
of
the
cast
and
crew
members.
As
per
the
reports,
Malayankunju
will
be
entirely
shot
in
Kerala,
mostly
at
the
various
locations
of
Erattupetta
and
Ernakulam.
In
a
recent
interview
given
to
a
leading
daily,
director
Sajimon
Prabhakaran
had
revealed
that
the
Fahadh
Faasil
starrer
revolves
around
a
very
unique
subject.
Interestingly,
Fahadh
is
not
playing
the
titular
character
in
the
movie.
The
highly
anticipated
project
is
scripted
by
the
renowned
filmmaker-editor-scriptwriter
Mahesh
Narayanan.
Thus,
Malayankunju
will
mark
Fahadh
Faasil's
fourth
collaboration
with
the
multi-faceted
talent,
after
Take
Off,
Malik,
and
C
U
Soon.
Interestingly,
Mahesh
is
also
handling
the
editing
and
cinematography
of
the
Sajimon
Prabhakaran
directorial.
The
editor-filmmaker,
who
has
tried
a
hand
in
virtual
cinematography
with
C
U
Soon,
is
making
his
debut
as
an
independent
cinematographer
with
Malayankunju.
The
makers
were
originally
planning
to
rope
in
Sanu
John
Varghese
as
the
DOP
of
the
project.
But
the
cinematographer
was
unable
to
join
Malayankunju
due
to
his
other
commitments.
Instead,
Mahesh
Narayanan
decided
to
handle
the
visualisation
of
the
Fahadh
Faasil
starrer.
Rajisha
Vijayan
has
been
roped
in,
to
essay
the
female
lead
opposite
Fahadh
Faasil
in
the
movie.
Thus,
Malayankunju
will
mark
the
first
onscreen
collaboration
of
talented
actors.
Along
with
Fahadh
and
Rajisha,
senior
actors
Indrans
and
Jaffer
Idukki
essay
the
pivotal
roles
in
the
movie.
Popular
musician
Sushin
Syam
is
composing
the
songs
and
original
score.
The
official
first
look
of
Fahadh
Faasil
from
the
project
is
expected
to
be
out
soon.
