Malayalam Film Industry's new Cheer Boy: Asif Ali

I was just watching to a song on youtube "Aadhayamaai" from the album "HimaMazhayil" sung by none other than Vineeth Sreenivasan.. I was amazed to see Asif Ali as the model in it..damn!! he was looking awesome then itself.. 




I just done a quick google on Asif and came to know that the appearance in this album song was one of the first that he did.. I also came to know that his first movie was "Ritu".. Actually over the last couple of weeks I had watched a couple of films of his.. such as the hit films "traffic" and "Salt & Pepper"..




Asif has been doing a lot of films these days.. some cameos and some full length characters.. He as done negative roles as well.. but the one thing I like about him is that he is down to earth and gives 100% at what he is doing.. his efforts reflect in his acting and it is getting applauds from all corners of the industry.. this was evident from the awards he had received for playing negative role in the film "Apoorvaragam".. He has done over 10 films and has a list of new ones to be released soon..


What I have understood so far about this young lad is that he is so "raw".. just like one of us.. when you see him on chat shows, you feel like he is like a friend of yours chatting away passing time.. he has told that he has always dreamed of being an actor, and when the chance came his way.. he took it with arms wide open..


In one of his interviews, he mentions that his first crush was when he was in 9th grade and his next crush was in his 11th and 12 th grade, however he was not able to express his love for the girl due to fear of rejection.. He goes on to say that at present he is not looking to getting married at least for the next 3-4 years, as he wants to concentrate on his first love.. acting and films.. His advice to budding actors is that "Never only look at the renumeration.. but for the role and character.."


The one thing I would like to take way from his character is that, he does not like mobile/phones.. he prefers to be surfing on the net when he gets spare time rather than chat on the mobile. He is a self-proclaimed Non-Vegetarian and tells that even for the Onam Sadhya he needs fish or fish fry to eat.. 


I personally like this new cheer boy in the Malayalam film industry and think that he has a long way ahead... wishing him the best of luck for his future..


This is Kettoo signing off...
