I
n the
1960s, A
Vincent
made a
memorable Malayalam film called Asuravithu
based on the Jnanpith award
winner M T Vasudevan Nair's
novel of the same name. The film
had Prem Nazir and Sarada in
the main roles. In 2011, another film titled
Asuravithu is being made in
Malayalam but it has no
connection with the original
Asuravithu.
Young hero Asif Ali, who is riding high after the success of Salt N'
Pepper and Violin, is paired
opposite Samvritha Sunil in
writer-director A K Sajan's
Asuravithu.
Asif plays a character called Don Bosco. He is a soft- spoken
youth, living in a seminary and all
set to become a priest.
Samvritha Sunil is Marty, a bold
chatterbox who runs a boat
service. She is also an expert in drawing sketches of suspects
from the accounts of
eyewitnesses, for the cops.
"Don Bosco comes across a
certain event and that changes
his life forever," says Sajan, who has earlier directed films like
Stop Violence and Lanka. He is
also the scenarist of films like
Butterflies, Kashmeeram,
Janathipathyam, Chinthamani
Kolacase, Red Chillies and Drona [ Images ] 2010. Asif Ali says that his character in
Asuravithu has "various shades
to it, which of course I can't
reveal now. For an actor, that is
a challenge."
"I have been offered bubbly characters especially after
Manikya Kallu in which I played
such a lively girl. Marty is one
character that I really look
forward to portraying," says
Samvritha Sunil. Asuravithu is being produced by
Leela Creations. The camera is
by Vishnu [ Images ] Narayan and the music directors are Alphonse
Joseph and Rajesh Mohan.
The shooting of the film is going
on in Kochi right now.
