Second schedule of Basil Joseph, Tovino Thomas’s ‘Athiradi’ to begin on November 18
The hit‑making Malayalam film Athiradi is moving into its next filming phase, with the second shooting schedule kicking off on 18 November. Production wrapped the first round of filming by the start of this month, sparking excitement in the industry and among fans.
The cast of Athiradi—star‑studded with Basil Joseph, Tovino Thomas, and Vineeth Sreenivasan—will be on screen together for the first time in a full‑length feature. That alone has fueled a buzz that has turned the project into a must‑watch for Malayalam cinema lovers. The title also promises a “mass action entertainer,” according to a teaser that already shows the three actors in distinct roles, blending humor with high‑octane sequences.
The teaser, which the filmmakers released in Malayalam, Tamil, Telugu, Hindi, and Kannada, gives audiences a taste of the story’s energy. It opens with Vineeth Sreenivasan’s character, followed by Basil Joseph and Tovino Thomas. The clip ends on a punchy note that hints at a “power‑packed theatrical experience.” By doing so, the production team emphasizes the film’s commitment to delivering action and entertainment for a wide audience.
Production and crew
The movie is a joint venture between Basil Joseph Entertainments and Doctor Ananthu Entertainments. It marks the return of director Arun Anirudhan (first seen as a screenwriter on Minnal Murali) as a filmmaker. The script team includes Arun and co‑writer Paulson Skaria. Co‑producers Sameer Thahir and Tovino Thomas play key roles behind the scenes.
The visual and audio team is headed by Samuel Henry (cinematography), Vishnu Vijay (music), Chaman Chacko (editing), and Mashar Hamsa (costume design). Their combined expertise suggests a polished final product ready for theatrical release.
Schedule updates
While the shoot was slated to resume on 12 November, the production team shifted the start date to 18 November to accommodate the actors’ schedules. Tovino Thomas will begin his scenes from 23 November, giving the crew a few days to build on the sets and lay the groundwork.
With the second schedule in motion, the film’s teams are pulling together all elements—acting, action choreography, cinematography, and special effects—to set the stage for a big release date later this year. Fans and critics alike will be keeping a close eye on how Athiradi develops into what many anticipate will be a blockbuster of Malayalam cinema.
