Thiruvananthapuram, May 17

Actor Fahadh Faasil is set to headline the 'Meiyazhagan' director C Prem Kumar's next feature film, marking their first collaboration on the big screens.

Along with Faasil, the movie will also star Sshivada, who was recently seen in Suriya's 'Kuruppu.' The makers have shared a video announcing the lead cast and glimpses of the lamp lighting ceremony to mark the beginning of the film's shoot.

In the video, Fahadh Faasil was seen lighting the lamp, followed by director C Prem Kumar, producer Ishari K Ganesh and actress Sshivada. The film is produced under the banner of Vels International. The music of the movie will be composed by Govind Vasantha.

Taking to their X, Vels International wrote, "Production No 32. Presented by Dr. Ishari K Ganesh, Produced by Vels Film Intl. In Association with @monsoonmovies. Starring: Fafa & Shivada. Written & Directed by C PREM KUMAR."

Fahadh Faasil was last seen in the film 'Patriot', which starred Mammootty and Mohanlal in the lead roles.

It was directed by Mahesh Narayan and produced by Anto Joseph and KG Anil Kumar. Apart from the lead cast, the film also starred Kunchacko Boban, Nayanthara, Revathi, Darshana Rajendran, and Rajiv Menon.

The soundtrack was composed by Sushin Shyam. The movie did not perform well at the box office after it was released earlier this month.

Sshivada is a good choice—she was convincing in 'Kuruppu'. But I hope 'Patriot' failure doesn’t affect the producer’s confidence. Need more original stories in Malayalam cinema.

Govind Vasantha is a gem! His music in 'Meiyazhagan' was soulful. This combo of Fahadh + Prem Kumar + Govind Vasantha could be magical. Waiting for more details.

I still don’t get the hype around Fahadh. He’s a good actor but overexposed. Prem Kumar should focus on a tight script rather than star power. 'Patriot' was a mess.

Happy to see Vels International backing quality projects. But I hope they don’t rush the release. Let Prem Kumar take his time—'Meiyazhagan' worked because it was heartfelt.

Fahadh and Sshivada pairing sounds interesting! But why mention 'Patriot'? That film was a disaster even with a star-studded cast. Let’s focus on this fresh project.
