Fahadh Faasil’s Survival  Drama To Stream On Amazon From August 11, Fahadh Comments

Amazon  Prime Video  will  stream   Malayalam survival thriller Malayankunju   from August 11. Directed by Sajimon Prabhakar, the film features Fahadh Faasil, Rajisha Vijayan and Indrans in pivotal roles. Malayankunju is an emotional story of survival, when a man gets trapped in a landslide. Written by Mahesh Narayanan, the film also marks the comeback of AR Rahman to Malayalam  cinema  after about three decades..

Malayankunju follows the journey of Ani (Fahad), who is an ill-tempered electronics technician leading a quiet life with his mother. His daily routines are disrupted when his next door neighbour’s newborn baby stirs up undesirable memories from his past. A person with many shades, Anil’s connection with the baby and his struggles to survive under the rubble of an intense landslide forms the crux of the narrative. Malayankunju is Fahad’s first big release after the huge success of Vikram. The film has been shot 40 feet under the ground level and has surreal sequences that lift a usual survival story to a different level.

Says  the brilliant actor Fahadh Faasil,  “Malayankunju is one of the toughest films that I have shot so far. The second half of the film is set 40 feet underground, so we had to create a set where we had to crouch and crawl.”

Fahadh who is  synonymous with  the acme of excellence  through  his performances in  Kumbalangi Nights , Joji and Malik  says  Malayalam cinema hasn’t seen a film like Malayankunju   in recent times .  “I am glad that the audiences and critics have appreciated our efforts. Our industry has been loved by a global audience and we are excited for my fourth collaboration with Amazon  Prime Video after CU Soon, Joji and Malik. I look forward to Malayankunji reaching out to a vast audience through this streaming platform and can’t wait to hear from a new set of audience.”
