Asif Ali's Christmas release Unnam seems set to be released this Christmas season. This is another of Asif's film as a solo hero, as he looks to be the next megastar of Malayalam Cinema.
"Unnam" is a Malayalam word which means "aim". The film is a musical thriller and is directed by Sibi Malayil, who is one of the leading directors in Malayalam film industry. This is the third straight film that the director is doing with Asif, the first one being "Apoorvaragam", the second one "Violin" and now the third one "Unnam". In the first two films, Nithya Menon was the heroine. However Rima Kallingal will be playing the lead lady in this film.
Asif Ali plays the role of "Aloshy" and Rima will play the character "Jenny"/"Jennifer". Rima would be sporting a new look in the film. The shooting of the film is going on in Kochi and Chalakudy area. The cast of the film include Lal who plays the role a character named Sunny, Sreenivasan who plays the role of Balakrishna, Nedumudi Venu as Murukannan and Swetha Menon to name a few. The film is a thriller, which is loosely based on the plot in which a group of people plan to do a crime for making quick money. In between, the relationship between the people in the group changes several times. Aloshy (Asif Ali) is a street singer, Sunny (Lal) has past connections with the Mumbai underworld and Murukan (Nedumudi Venu) is his confidante. Swetha Menon plays the role of a character named Sareena, who is living with Murukan after a failed marriage.
During the shooting of the film, controversy had struck when Rima had not turned up on time of a shoot due to another engagement. Sibi Malayil had filled a complaint against her action to FEKKA, informing them the incident. He later said of the issue, that is was just an in-house issue and that these things happen. "Rima was supposed to inaugurate a firm in the Trivandrum, however she had failed to inform me about it." said Sibi. "When she found that the date clashed with the films shooting schedule, she tried to back out from the engagement by giving back the fee. But the owners didn't accept it." The shooting of the film had resumed last Monday, with all cast.
The film seems to be different from the films that we are used to see from Sibi Malayil, and hence we can expect something different and new in this film. The music of the film is done by a new music director John P Varkey. The script for this film was done by Swathy Bhaskar, and the lyrics is done by Rafeeq Ahammed. The film is produced by David Kachapily. Wishing the film and crew the best for the film..
