Krishna Mukunda Murari Daily Serial – E444 – 16th Apr

Fahadh Faasil, a highly acclaimed actor in Malayalam cinema, has recently experienced a surge in popularity among Telugu audiences. Prior to the COVID-19 lockdown, his talent remained largely unknown in the Telugu region. However, the increased accessibility of Malayalam content on OTT platforms during that time exposed Telugu viewers to his exceptional abilities.

Faasil’s recent portrayal of the antagonist in the blockbuster film “Pushpa” further solidified his recognition among Telugu moviegoers. The success of “Pushpa” and the captivating nature of his police character in the film led to the dubbing and release of several of his previous Malayalam movies in Telugu.

Faasil’s latest Malayalam film, titled “Aavesham,” has garnered significant praise for his performance. He takes on the role of Ranga, a notorious gangster, in a story that revolves around three college students seeking revenge on their seniors for ragging. Their quest for retribution leads them to enlist Ranga’s help, and the narrative takes a thrilling turn as Faasil unleashes a captivating one-man show.

Directed by Jeethu Madhavan, known for his work on “Romancham,” “Aavesham” presents a novel side of Faasil’s acting repertoire. While the film might initially appear like a serious drama, it cleverly blends humor, emotion, and suspense into a captivating package.

Despite limitations in screening at certain major theatre chains, “Aavesham” has received a positive response from audiences. Experts believe that with wider accessibility, the film could have achieved even greater box office success.

The critical acclaim surrounding “Aavesham” has piqued the interest of Telugu producers. Many are actively seeking the rights to the film, with a growing consensus that a dubbed version would be preferable to a remake. This development signifies Faasil’s burgeoning popularity in Telugu cinema and the potential for further exploration of his talent within the region.
