Malayalam actor Fahadh Faasil believes that Malayalam cinema has gained enough goodwill to experiment with unconventional themes but avoids religious subjects.
Faasil, known for his role in the film ‘Aavesham,’ discussed his movie ‘Trance,’ which attempted to expose the religious industry in Kerala but failed to resonate with audiences who prefer entertainment over harsh realities.
Despite the film’s critical acclaim, Faasil expresses reservations about addressing religion in his future projects in Kerala due to lack of public interest in such discussions.
The actor also highlights the need for entertainment in films, even those with awareness-raising themes, and acknowledges the censorship challenges faced by ‘Trance.’
Faasil emphasizes his preference to be seen as a performer rather than taken seriously outside of his acting roles.
