Malayankunju,
the
highly
anticipated
Fahadh
Faasil
starrer
is
all
set
to
hit
the
theatres
on
July
22,
Friday.
The
project
marks
the
comeback
of
celebrated
musician
AR
Rahman
to
the
Malayalam
cinema,
after
a
long
gap
of
30
years.
The
Malayankunju
first
single
'Cholappenne'
was
released
on
July
12,
Tuesday
and
it
is
now
winning
the
internet.
Cholappenne
song,
which
is
a
highly-catchy
melody,
is
unarguably
the
best
comeback
vehicle
for
AR
Rahman
to
the
industry.
The
legendary
musician
has
created
a
simple
yet
stunning
composition,
that
oozes
nostalgia
and
the
essence
of
Kerala's
authentic
music.
Vijay
Yesudas
has
lent
voice
to
the
song,
which
is
penned
by
Vinayak
Sasikumar.

Malayankunju

In
the
Cholappenne
lyrical
video,
Fahadh
Faasil's
character
is
seen
busy
with
the
chores,
when
a
Mehendi
function
takes
place.
The
bride,
played
by
Rajisha
Vijayan
looks
at
him
longingly,
thus
hinting
at
her
unrequited
love.
From
the
lyrical
video,
it
is
evident
that
Malayankunju,
which
is
helmed
by
debutant
Sajimon
Prabhakaran
is
going
to
be
a
one-of-its-kind
film.
To
the
unversed,
AR
Rahman
was
originally
supposed
to
make
his
comeback
to
Malayalam
cinema
after
the
long
gap
with
Aadujeevitham,
the
upcoming
Prithviraj
Sukumaran
starrer.
But
the
Blessy
directorial
has
been
delayed
due
to
the
novel
coronavirus
pandemic,
and
will
take
at
least
a
year
to
hit
the
screens.
Instead,
Rahman
will
make
his
comeback
to
the
industry
with
Fahadh
Faasil's
Malayankunju.
Malayankunju
which
is
touted
to
be
a
survival
thriller,
marks
Fahadh
Faasil's
reunion
with
Mahesh
Narayanan,
the
renowned
editor-filmmaker.
Mahesh
has
penned
the
script
for
the
project,
as
well
as
handled
the
cinematography.
The
highly
anticipated
project
is
bankrolled
by
the
veteran
filmmaker
and
Fahadh's
father,
Fazil.
Rajisha
Vijayan
appears
as
the
female
lead
opposite
Fahadh
Faasil
in
the
movie,
which
will
have
senior
actors
Indrans
and
Jaffer
Idukky
in
the
pivotal
roles.
