In 2024, Asif Ali had a great year. The year began with his cameo in the hit Varshangalkku Shesham, and then his next film was Thalavan, where he played a police officer and one of the main protagonists. The movie did well, and even a sequel was announced. While his next venture, Level Cross, wasn’t a huge success, many critics considered it a good film, with most reactions being mixed. Unfortunately, his next film, Adios Amigo, didn’t do well at the box office.
However, Asif Ali’s next outing was part of a multi-starrer anthology web series, Manorathangal, based on the works of M.T. Vasudevan Nair. His following project, Kishkindha Kaandam, turned out to be a massive hit—something no one expected. Now, in 2025, his first film of the year, Rekhachithram, a crime investigation drama, is getting a lot of attention as it is gearing up to release this week.
