After Madhuram, Ashiq and Ahammed Khabheer planned to do a humour-based police story “But after the policeman briefed us about an incident, we switched to this subject.” Ashiq said.
They got an offer from Disney+ Hotstar for a web series and Ashiq penned the script in just 15 days “We only had a basic thread. We had to design characters and conceptuatlise everything”
Ashiq Aimar is now busy with a new movie to be directed by Praveen Chandu, an associate of Kurup (2021). He also wrote the script for Insha Allah which is yet to be filmed.
“I want to write a mass film for theatrical release. I will change its format, heroism and other factors to make the audience clap. It would be genuine,” he asserted.
“It’s true that stardom is rare for women in the Malayalam film industry; Manju Warrier is the only exception. But it’s not an impossible feat to achieve.”
Ashiq Aimar is a fan of international filmmakers such as Asghar Farhad and Fatih Haqin. For him, relationships have an important role while penning the stories.
