Asif Ali and Suraj Venjaramoodu’s Adios Amigo got a new release date. It will finally hit the screens worldwide on 9 August.
The movie was initially slated for release on 2 August. However, the makers postponed it out of respect towards the people who died in the deadly landslides in Kerala.
On Monday, 5 August, the makers of Adios Amigo took to social media to announce the new release date and shared new posters.
Besides this, Saiju Sreedharan’s Footage and East Coast Vijayan’s Chithini were also deferred due to the Wayanad landslides. Both films were supposed to be released on 2 August, along with Adios Amigo.
Interestingly, the postponement of these films helped the re-release of Mohanlal’s Devadoothan, as it got more screens and saw a collection of around ₹3.75 crore so far.
Meanwhile, August will see the release of several Malayalam films and it is to be seen how the theatres will accommodate the new movies.
Adios Amigo raised the expectation among movie buffs as Asif Ali and Suraj Venjaramoodu teamed up for the first time. The hilarious trailer built anticipation for the flick.
During promotions, both Asif Ali and Suraj Venjaramoodu assured that the film would be a fun-packed entertainer.
Adios Amigo is directed by debutant Nahaz Nazar. The script was written by Thankam. It was produced by Ashiq Usman. The cinematography was by Jimshi Khalid and the editing was by Nishadh Yusuf. Gopi Sunder composed the music.
The film features Shine Tom Chacko, Ganapathi, Althaf Salim, Jinu Joseph, Salim Hassan, Anagha, Muthumani, and Riaa Saira in key roles.
Meanwhile, Asif Ali’s Level Cross, which was released recently, evoked a positive response from the audience. He is now shooting for Abhyanthara Kuttavali. He has a good lineup for films in his kitty, including Thalavan 2, untitled films with directors Jofin T Chacko, Thamar KV, and Thalavan associate director Farhan.
On the other hand, Suraj Venjaramoodu is currently working on Padakkalam with Sharaf U Dheen. He recently wrapped up ED-Extra Decent under the direction of Aamir Pallikkal. It is his maiden production venture. He is also part of Prem Shankar’s Thekku Vadakku and Nissam Basheer’s upcoming movie.
