Farhaan Faasil and Sana Althaf Teaming up in Basheerinte Premalekhanam

After directing the award-winning movie 'Zachariayude Garbhinikal' director Aneesh Anwar is back with a romantic comedy. Titled Basheerinte Premalekhanam, the film will have Farhaan Faasil and Mariyammukku fame Sana Althaf playing the lead roles. "It is a love story that happens during 1980-85. Farhaan and Sana will essay the roles of the lovers in the period film, which is narrated with a lot of humour," says Aneesh, adding that actor Manikandan, who rose to fame with his acting in Kammattipaadam will be doing a prominent role in the movie. "The icing on the cake is that the most celebrated on-screen pair of yesteryear, Madhu and Sheela, will be sharing screen space as a romantic couple," he adds. When asked him whether the movie has anything to do with Vaikom Muhammad Basheer's novelette Premalekhanam, comes the reply. "That is the surprise element of this movie. It may or may not have similarity with the acclaimed writer's work. You will have to wait till the movie releases to know it," he says. Anwar says that he is excited to do a comedy film, after directing two serious films. "I love to try out different genres and this movie will be a simple nadan love story happening in a village in Kerala." Scripted by Shinodh, Shamseer and Bibin, the movie will go on floors in August with Ernakulam and Palakkad as the main locations. Renji Panicker, Nedumudi Venu, KPAC Lalitha, Aju Varghese and Dileesh Pothan are doing important roles in the movie.
