The much-anticipated next project from director Abhinav Sundar Nayak, the creative force behind the dark comedy hit 'Mukundan Unni Associates', is finally taking shape. Titled 'Mollywood Times', the film's first look poster has been officially released, sending waves of excitement across social media platforms and among cinephiles.
First Look Poster Channels 90s CD Cover Aesthetic
The unveiled poster for 'Mollywood Times' has immediately captured attention for its distinctive visual style, which strongly resembles the cover art of film CDs from the 1990s. This nostalgic design choice has resonated deeply with audiences online, generating significant positive engagement. The film features a promising cast, with Naslen, Sangeeth Prathap, and Sharafudheen playing pivotal roles.
Lead actor Naslen shared the poster on his social media with an enthusiastic note. He wrote, "First announcement of this year. More soon... Abhinav Sunder Nayak’s brand new coming of age tale. Introducing the first look poster of ‘Mollywood Times’!" His playful caption amplified the buzz surrounding the reveal.
Intriguing Tagline and Stellar Technical Crew
Accompanying the visually striking poster is a bold and thought-provoking tagline that reads: "Those who believe in the myth of a beautiful and fragrant life should not watch this movie." This line has successfully piqued curiosity about the film's narrative and its underlying tone. Given Abhinav Sundar Nayak's previous success with the darkly humorous 'Mukundan Unni Associates', audiences are now speculating that 'Mollywood Times' might follow a similar thematic path.
The film is backed by a robust technical team known for their quality work. The screenplay has been penned by Ramu Sunil, while Vishwajith Odukkathil handles cinematography. The music composition is by Jakes Bejoy, and the editing is a joint effort by Nidhin Raj Arol and director Abhinav Sundar Nayak himself. Vishnu Govind is in charge of sound design and mixing, with Ashiq S. leading the art direction.
Naslen's Fun Banter with Basil Joseph Over New Look
In a related and lighthearted online interaction, actor Basil Joseph's new rugged look for his upcoming production venture 'Athiradi' also became a topic of conversation. After Basil shared his character poster, introducing 'Sam Kutti' aka 'Sam Boy', a humorous exchange ensued in the comments section.
Naslen jumped in jestingly, commenting, "So this is a plan to sideline us, right? That was a clever trick." Actor Tovino Thomas joined the fun, replying to Naslen, "You’re his main target. He shouldn’t be allowed to grow any further."
Basil Joseph promptly fired back with a witty retort: "The arrogance of you and that Sandeep is increasing a bit. I’ll fix it properly." He added another humorous line, stating, "Aren’t we a team? In the end, I’ll be the only one standing, remember that." This playful banter delighted fans, showcasing the camaraderie within the Malayalam film industry.
With its intriguing first look, nostalgic appeal, and the promise of a compelling coming-of-age story from a talented director, 'Mollywood Times' has successfully positioned itself as one of the most awaited Malayalam films in the pipeline. The online buzz suggests audiences are ready for Abhinav Sundar Nayak's next cinematic offering.
