Asif Ali and Aparna Balamurali reunite once again in Mirage after the huge hit Kishkindha Kaandam. Directed by Jeethu Joseph, the film’s teaser evokes curiosity while promising edge of the seat thrills, and suspense.
“I can tell you one thing, you are in serious trouble,” the character played by Asif Ali tells the character essayed by Aparna, in the teaser. Calling it “A Jeethu Joseph Puzzle”, the teaser doesn’t reveal much about the plot.
Mirage also features Hakim Shajahan, Deepak Parambol, Hanna Reji Koshy, and Sampath Raj in prominent roles. Asif Ali’s first release of 2025, Rekhachithram, is one of Malayalam cinema’s biggest box office successes of the year. Asif’s reunion with Jeethu Joseph, after the much-discussed Kooman, has generated a buzz.
Fans of Jeethu Joseph are expecting a firecracker of a suspense thriller from the director who gave us the Drishyam franchise. Jeethu Joseph’s last outing at the box office was the Basil Joseph-led Nunnakuzhi.
