More about Ashakal Aayiram
Ashakal Aayiram follows a young social media influencer who dreams of becoming an actor. When a film production unit begins shooting in his neighbourhood, it opens up an opportunity for him to pursue his aspirations.
However, his father strongly opposes the idea in a typical Kerala household, urging him to focus on a more traditional career. An abrupt change in his father’s outlook eventually allows him to pursue his own long-suppressed passion, mirroring his son’s journey. How both manage to achieve their dreams forms the heart of the story.
With Jayaram and Kalidas in the lead, the movie also features Asha Sarath, Ishaani Krishna, Sharaf U Dheen, Ramesh Pisharody, and many others in key roles.
Interestingly, real-life father and son Jayaram and Kalidas Jayaram share the screen for the third time, after Kalidas previously appeared as a child artist in his father’s films such as Kochu Kochu Santhoshangal and Ente Veedu Appuvinteyum.
