Anwar Malayalam Movie

'Anwar' is a film being directed by Amal Neerad, one of the most stylish directors Malluwood has seen till date. With a spectacualr debut in 'Big B', Amal had also made 'Sagar Alias Jackey' that was more of a style statement.

Having received much criticism for his second film, Amal treads on the new grounds for his third film very cautiously. This time the subject that he deals with is quite touchy; nothing less than terrorism.

Amal assures us that though the film is based on terrorism, it will be quite different from the other films in the genre. Having learned his lessons on scripting, this time Amal would script the story himself along with R Unni who had scripted Big B.

The movie presents an interesting debate before us as to what is right and what is wrong, and whether one man's right could be another man's wrong.

Prithviraj plays the lead role in the film, that of a Muslim youngster who is lured by the ideas of radicalism. Mamta Mohandas plays his female lead. Prakash Raj and Lal also do key roles.

Debutant cameraman Satheesh Kurup will wield the camera, while Gopi Sundar will compose the music for this film.

'Anwar' is produced by Rajesh Zacharias under the banner of Red Carpet Films. It has been shot on locations in and around Kochi.
