Malayalam actor Naslen K Gafoor has undoubtedly become a household name following the release of the 2024 romantic comedy film, Premalu, helmed by Girish AD. Now, the blockbuster duo are set to reunite again for a family entertainer titled I Am Kathalan.
The film, which was actually announced a while back, unfortunately faced difficulties, forcing it to be delayed. In the latest update, the makers of the film took to social media to reveal that the film is slated to hit the silver screens in August this year. They also unveiled the second look poster of the film, which features a CCTV point of view of Naslen in a simple outfit with a bag over his shoulder.
