Asif Ali : Cowboy

Hi Readers..

Today I am going to post my review on Asif Ali's latest film "COWBOY". I had been waiting to post this update for sometime now, however had some more info to collect.

Cowboy is the latest from Asif Ali, and is set to be released in the first couple of months in 2012. The shooting of the film was said to start in the start of November, but inside news is that it had already started in mid-October. As per our sources, the film would be completely shot in Malaysia.

This is set to be an all-out action film, a first from Asif. Asif plays the role of a youth named "Vinay", who is considered to be of no use by both family and society. He plays the role of the common youth, lazy and easy going. All of a sudden some events take place in his life, which turns his life completely and he becomes a person with a totally different character.

The leading lady of the film is Mythili, the pair had a winning combination in the super hit film "Salt N' Pepper". The Malayalam-Tamil actor Bala, would be playing the role of the villain in the film. Bala had earlier played a similar role, in the Prithviraj starer "Puthiya Mugham". The other leading roles are played by Swetha Menon, Master Pankaj, Jagathy, Anil Murali, Lena, Saddiq and Kalashala Babu to name a few.

The film is directed by new comer P Balachandrakumar and produced by Dr. V.S Sudhakaran, under the banner of Cine Castle Movie Kingdom.  The lyrics for the film would be done by Kaithapram Damodaran Namboothiri and Meenachi Sundaram; where as the music would be done by Berny Ignatious. Distribution of the film would be done by Mary Matha Release.

Asif Ali seems to be the hottest property in the Malayalam film industry, and is selling like hot pan-cakes. His next-door boy look and casual style makes him an instant hit with the new generation of audience. Like always, wishing Asif Ali and all the crew of the film the best of luck for this venture..
