Fahd Fasil is gearing up for the release of his film Maareesan, acting with Vadivelu. On July 25, 2025, next to the big screen hitting the film, the Aavesham actor reflected on the reunion with his Maamannan co-star and whether the film was originally in Malayalam.
Did Fahd Fasil initially plan to make a marrson in Malayalam?
Talking with Hollywood Reporter India, Fahd Fasil said, “Marasan, I originally heard it as a Malayalam film. I was planning a Malayalam film at the time, and when I heard this, when we came to the casting and everyone said that we need someone like Vadiwelu sir for this film.”
“After these discussions, the producer came to us. He is already a Tamil producer and asked why we are not making it in Tamil. However, my only situation was, if we were doing it in Tamil, it was to be with Vadivelu Sir,” Fahd said.
