Chennai, April 14
The makers of director Althaf Salim's eagerly-awaited Malayalam romantic comedy, 'Odum Kuthira Chaadum Kuthira' , featuring actors Fahadh Faasil and Kalayani Priyadarshan in the lead, on Monday released the first look poster of the film on the happy occasion of Vishu.
Taking to her social media timelines, actress Kalyani Priyadarshan, who plays the female lead in the film, wrote, "Their love story was perfect... until the wedding." Ashiq Usman Productions is proud to reveal the official first look of Odum Kuthira Chaadum Kuthira, helmed by Althaf Salim and starring Fahadh Faasil, Kalyani Priyadarshan, and Revathi Pillai."
The film has triggered a lot of interest as this will be director Althaf Salim's second film after his debut film, 'Njandukalude Naattil Oridavela', impressed both critics and film buffs.
'Njandukalude Naattil Oridavela' featured Nivin Pauly in the lead along with Aishwarya Lekshmi. It also had a number of gifted actors like Shanthi Krishna, Siju Wilson, Ahaana Krishna, Lal and Sharafudeen in pivotal roles.
Althaf Salim, in an earlier interview to a media publication, had informed that 70 per cent of 'Odum Kuthira Chaadum Kuthira' would be shot in Ernakulam in Kerala and the remaining 30 per cent in Chennai.
The film, a light-hearted entertainer, went on floors in April 2024 and work on the film continued briskly with rumours in December 2024 on social media suggesting that the makers were considering releasing the film for Vishu this year.
However, the makers have now released the first look poster of the film on the festive occasion of Vishu.
The film, which has cinematography by Jinto George, has music by Justin Varghese and editing by Sundar Nayak. Art direction for the film has been handled by Ouseph John and costumes have been designed by Mashar Hamsa. The film has been produced by Ashiq Usman. The makers haven't announced a release date as yet for the film.

Fahadh never disappoints! The poster looks intriguing with that tagline. Can't wait to see what kind of wedding chaos this story will bring 😄
Althaf Salim's first film was so heartfelt. Hoping this one maintains that emotional depth while being a rom-com. The team looks solid with Justin Varghese's music too!
The color palette in the poster is so vibrant! Perfect Vishu vibes 🌼 Hope the movie lives up to the expectations set by the first look.
Not sure about the title - feels a bit too long and tongue-twisty. But with Fahadh involved, I'm willing to overlook that. His script selection has been impeccable lately.
Kalyani and Fahadh pairing for the first time? Interesting! She's grown so much as an actor since her debut. This could be a great showcase for her comic timing.
Ernakulam and Chennai locations should make for beautiful backdrops. Malayalam cinema has been killing it with location choices lately. Hope this continues the trend!
