Fahadh Faasil to star in C. Prem Kumar’s next film
Director C. Prem Kumar, acclaimed for his touching films 96 and Meiyazhagan, is gearing up for his next project, a high-octane action thriller.
This time, he has roped in the versatile Malayalam actor Fahadh Faasil for the lead role. This marks a significant moment as it will be Faasil’s first solo lead film in the Tamil language.
The new project is a departure from Prem Kumar’s signature style of emotional drama, venturing into the action genre while promising to retain his trademark depth and character-focused storytelling.
Sources close to the production report that the director’s 45-minute narration was all it took to get Faasil on board.
This collaboration has created a buzz in the industry and among fans, especially after Prem Kumar’s last project with actor Vikram was postponed.
The team is aiming to start shooting in January 2026. This fresh pairing of a celebrated director and a powerhouse actor has set high expectations for what’s to come.
