Mumbai: OTT platform, Amazon Prime Video announced that Fahadh Faasil’s recently released Malayalam film Malayankunju will release on the streaming platform on Monday, August 08, 2022.
Sharing the announcement, Amazon Prime Video tweeted on Monday, This survival thriller will have you feeling like this in no time! Malayakunju on Prime, August 11, 2022.”
The film narrates an emotional and survival story of a man who gets trapped in a landslide. Malayankunju follows the journey of protagonist, Anikuttan, played by Fahadh, who is an ill-tempered electronics technician that leads a quiet life with his mother.
His daily routine is disrupted when his next door neighbour’s newborn baby stirs up undesirable memories from his past. Anikuttan’s connection with the baby and his struggle to survive under the rubble of an intense landslide forms the crux of the narrative.
Talking about the film on Monday, August 08, 2022, Fahadh Faasil shared, “Malayankunju is one of the toughest films that I have shot so far. The second half of the film is set 40 feet underground, so we had to create a set where we had to crouch and crawl. Malayalam cinema hasn’t seen a film like this in recent times and I’m glad that the audiences and critics have appreciated our efforts.”
“Our industry has been loved by a global audience and we are excited for my fourth collaboration with Prime Video. I look forward to Malayankunju reaching out to a vast audience through this streaming platform and can’t wait to hear from a new set of audience,” he added.
The film is directed by Sajimon Prabhakar and written by filmmaker Mahesh Narayanan.
