In a media interaction, Asif Ali spoke about his next movie, Abhyanthara Kuttavali, which is scheduled to be released on June 6. The Thalavan actor also discussed his favourite character from Twenty Twenty, the most successful multi-star Malayalam movie ever.
The young star mentioned that he thought Mohanlal's role in Twenty Twenty had the best character intro possible. In addition to saying that he enjoys multistar films, Asif said he does not intend on playing solely the lead. "All I want is to be involved in a large project that involves many actors. Collaborating on a set with numerous artists is enjoyable.
Nearly all of the biggest names in Malayalam cinema are part of the cast of Twenty Twenty. In the movie, Mammootty portrayed Adv. Ramesh Nambiar, and Mohanlal portrayed his adversary, Deva Raja Prathapa Varma. It is quite entertaining to watch the contentious moments between the legendary pair in this film. This big budget film, which Dileep had funded, was a commercial success following its release in 2008. Twenty Twenty is available for streaming on OTTplay Premium and Sun NXT.
Asif Ali got 2025 off to a great start with Rekhachithram, an investigative thriller that became the first box office success in Malayalam this year. The movie is available on Sony LIV as well as OTTplay Premium. Families are expected to flock to the theatre to watch Abhyanthara Kuttavali, which is touted to be a family entertainer. According to the teaser, the movie blends legal issues with evolving familial ties. The upcoming Malayalam movie is anticipated to be a realistic comedy-drama that addresses a social issue relevant to present times.
Supporting roles are being played by Jagadish, Harisree Ashokan, Sidharth Bharathan, Azees Nedumangad, Prem Kumar, Balachandran Chullikkad, and Jai Mahendran-fame Anand Manmadhan. The film's female lead is portrayed by debutante Thulasi.
