Director Alleppey Ashraf shared this photo on social media. In response to a question in the comments, he confirmed that the image is from the set of the movie "Pappayude Swantham Appoos," directed by Fazil. Released in 1992, "Pappayude Swantham Appoos" was written and directed by Fazil, with Mammootty in the lead role.

On Fahadh's birthday yesterday (Aug 8), the makers of the highly anticipated film Vettaiyan shared a special photo. The picture features Fahadh alongside Indian cinema icons Rajinikanth and Amitabh Bachchan on the sets of Vettaiyan.

Apart from that, his new film in Malayalam was also announced on August 8. The movie will be produced under the banner of Goodwill Entertainments by Joby George Thadathil and directed by Renji Panicker. However, the title and other details of the film have not been revealed yet. This marks Renji Panicker's return to directing after a 16-year hiatus. Fahadh has several films lined up for release in Malayalam, Tamil, and Telugu.

Here are some of his most anticipated projects-
