Naslen had consented to make a cameo appearance when he was first cast in the starring role: Jis Happy
Jis Joy directed Thalavan, an investigative crime thriller, this year. In theatres, the film, which starred Biju Menon and Asif Ali in the key characters, received positive reviews. This is the next movie that Asif Ali and Jis Joy have worked on together, following the films Bicycle Thieves, Sunday Holiday, Vijay Super, Pournami, and Jaya Kaki.
In the movie, Jaffer Idukki made a brief cameo appearance. The part of Allappan was played by the celebrity. However, Jis Joy claims that Naslen was his initial choice for the part. Additionally, the filmmaker claims that he had no idea that he was playing in Premalu. In an interview with CinemaPranthan, Jis Joy was speaking.
The character emerged subsequent to the commencement of filming. Such a character was born out of an epiphany had while storywriting. The narrative takes on a sombre tone as it goes along. Things are becoming more and more tight. The idea of loosening up and returning to a serious tone was brought in by the character. That posed a serious risk. It would be a major task if it failed. When that happens, nobody will support us.
Nobody agreed with me when I discussed such a character. He was not supported by Asif or Biju Chettan either. Not only them—not even the producing side could muster any support. We would have given up on Jafar at times if he hadn’t been prepared to take on the role. Jafar arrived that day prepared to play that part, which is how such a figure came to be. This was not the original plan.
The figure was quite youthful. This was not the plot of his either. Originally, Naslen was assigned to this part. I was unaware of Premalu’s photo session at the time. Had we known the movie was going to be out, we never would have given him a call. since he is the film’s protagonist. Nazlen was asked whether he might make a brief appearance. Sadly, he decided right away not to work on our movie. It’s going to be one week from now. Jis Joy responded, “Told him we would inform.”
