Rahman Khalid, the brother of popular cinematographer/director Shyju Khalid is all set to make his debut as director with the upcoming film Anuraga Karikkin Vellam, the shooting of which auspiciously kicked off a few days ago. The film features Asif Ali, Biju Menon and Sreenath Bhasi in the leads roles. Biju Menon reportedly plays Asif's father in this film, which brings the two actors together on screen after Pakida. Drishyam actress Asha Sharath is also said to be playing an interesting character in the film.
Asif Ali posted a quirky selfie with his co-star Sreenath Bhasi on his social media page, announcing the commencement of the shoot of the film. Anuraga Karikkin Vellam is being produced by August Cinema, the joint banner by Prithviraj, Santosh Sivan, Shaji Nadesan and Arya. Their last production was Double Barrel. Jimshi Khalid, the other brother of the director will be wielding the camera for the project while it has been written by Naveen Bhaskar, the scribe of the hit film ABCD. Prashant Pillai is scoring the music for the film.
