Malayalam film actor Asif Ali was recently seen in the film ‘2018’ which has become the film with the highest collections in the Malayalam box office. He played the role of Nixon, a young man from a fisherman family who aspires to become a model. While he despises the life of a fisherman and wants to break free, he heads back home during the devastating floods and joins the community in rescue work. “When Jude expressed his interest in making this film, I told him at first that it was a risk. If it`s a story we have heard about we can use our imagination and get creative. But this is an incident we have lived and witnessed and each of us stepped out for rescue in whatever way we could. I gave my nod to the film only when Jude gave me the 4th draft of the film,” says Asif Ali talking to mid-day.com.
“I think this is the first time I have a film without any negative review" says Asif who is well-known for films like ‘Uyare’, ‘Virus’, ‘Kakshi: Amminippilla’, ‘Kuttavum Shikshayum’, among many others.
