Inspired by KG George’s Irakal (1985), Director Dileesh Pothan directed Joji (2021). Fahadh plays the titular character and delivers a brilliant performance.

Frustration, anger, and the need to break free, everything is safe in the hands of the versatile actor. Inarguably his most off-beat role, Fahadh showcases his unexplored range as an actor.

Entertainment

Kumbalangi Nights was an introduction for many non-Malayalis to Malayalam films, a smaller industry compared to Tamil and Telugu.

Entertainment

Fahadh appears as Shammi, a male chauvinist. His dialogue, “Shammi Hero Aanu (Shammi is the hero)” gives a complete outlook of his character.

Entertainment

Take Off is an edge-of-the-seat thriller that retells the inspiring story of Indian nurses who were saved from a terrorist outfit in Iraq.

Entertainment

While Parvathy is the heart of the story, Fahadh, with his extended cameo role, entertains the film buffs with some heart-warming moments.

Entertainment

In Dileesh Pothan’s Thondimuthalum Drikshakshiyum, Fahadh Faasil’s disarming smile, tender gaze, and steady demeanour give his character an innocent and child-like quality.

Entertainment

Amen was a surprise hit directed by Lijo Jose Pellissery and written by PS Rafeeque. The fantasy film revolves around the events that happen in a village in Kuttanad in Alleppey.

Entertainment

Fahadh plays the role of Solomon, a saxophonist who falls in love with Shoshanna (Swathi Reddy), a rich girl in the village. Their parents are against their relationship.
