Kalyani Priyadarshan trains in martial arts for Dulquer Salmaan’s Wayfarer Films’ next with Naslen

After the film ‘Varshangalkku Shesham’, the actress Kalyani Priyadarshan is stepping into action mode for the upcoming seventh production venture under Dulquer Salmaan’s banner, Wayfarer Films. The actress is currently undergoing rigorous martial arts training for her role in the yet-to-be-titled film, in which she stars opposite young actor Naslen.

Photos of Kalyani practicing martial arts have surfaced online, hinting at a physically demanding role that is a departure from her usual characters. The training sessions suggest that her role will involve intense action sequences.

This film marks an exciting pairing of Kalyani and Naslen in lead roles. With both actors known for their versatility and charm, their collaboration is generating considerable buzz among fans. It will be the first time that Kalyani Priyadarshan and Naslen will be teaming up as leads for a movie.
Written and directed by Arun Dominic, the film is currently in production. The supporting cast includes Chandu Salim Kumar, Arun Kurian, and Shanthi Balachandran in pivotal roles. While the title of the film is still under wraps, more updates about the storyline and release are expected in the coming weeks.
Naslen’s recent outing
On the other hand, the ‘Premalu’ star is basking in the success of his recently released film ‘Alappuzha Gymkhana’. The movie has earned praises from audiences and 3.5 star rating from ETimes. Our official review reads, “Technically, the film is a treat. The audiography, raw, immersive, and at times overwhelming, places us right in the middle of sweaty gyms and crowded streets. The stunt choreography is electric, making the boxing sequences feel visceral and alive. Songs are rooted, catchy, and carry a local flavour that adds charm without overpowering. The performances are uniformly stellar. Naslen brings a restless energy to Jojo, part clueless, part charming, all heart. Lukman as Antony Joshuva is a quiet storm, carrying his role with understated brilliance. Baby Jean’s David John is endearing, while Anagha Ravi's Natasha has quiet confidence and surprising grit.”
