Interesting facts

1001 Nunakal, also known as Aayirathonnu Nunakal, is a 2022 Indian Malayalam-language drama film directed by Thamar KV in his directorial debut and produced by Salim Ahamed. The film premiered in the Malayalam Cinema Today category at the 27th International Film Festival of Kerala in December 2022. The plot revolves around a group of friends who decide to play a game of truth or dare at a wedding anniversary party. Critics have noted the plot setting being similar to that of 2016 Italian film Perfect Strangers.

Production

The story for the film was written during 2016–17. 1001 Nunakal was announced in November 2021 in Dubai by Salim Ahamed, who previously directed And the Oscar Goes To... (2019) and Pathemari (2015).

The makers of the film considered newcomers instead of leading actors to play the lead characters. The actors were chosen from auditions in Kerala and the United Arab Emirates, with nine coming from the UAE and four from Kerala. The first round audition was held in Dubai from 26 to 31 December 2021, while the second round audition was held at the same venue from 5 March to 6 March 2022.

The principal photography of the film began on 12 May 2022. The shooting started after a seven-day acting camp under Jijoy Rajagopal. The film was shot entirely in the United Arab Emirates, with majority of the filming taking place at a villa in Ajman. Filming was wrapped up on 5 June 2022 in Ajman.
