Wissenswertes

Malik (transl. Lord), stylized as mālik with diacritics, is a 2021 Indian Malayalam-language epic political crime drama film written, directed, and edited by Mahesh Narayanan. It was produced by Anto Joseph through Anto Joseph Film Company along with Carnival Movie Network. The film stars Fahadh Faasil with Nimisha Sajayan, Vinay Forrt, Jalaja, Joju George, Dileesh Pothan and Indrans in supporting roles. The music was composed by Sushin Shyam.

Production

Following Take Off (2017), Mahesh Narayanan started working on his second directorial with Dulquer Salmaan in the lead. However, that project was put on hold and he moved on to another film. In May 2019, it was reported that Mahesh has cast Fahadh Faasil and Parvathy Thiruvothu in his new film, whom he had directed in Take Off.

Reports had claimed that Fahadh plays a role of a politician named Sulaimaan Malik. His role was rumoured to be similar of Michael Corleone in The Godfather (1972) portrayed by Al Pacino or Velu Naicker in Nayakan (1987) portrayed by Kamal Haasan. However, Narayanan revealed that his role is based on a real-life person who died in 1986.

The film revolves around Sulaimaan's character spanning from the age of 21 to 58, and Fahadh shed 10 to 15 kilograms, for the younger version of his character. The aged Sulaimaan's look was inspired by Fahadh's grandfather. It was after experimenting with different looks that Mahesh zeroed in on Fahadh's grandfather. He said the "biggest challenge" of Fahadh was to shoot the younger portions, as he had to lose weight.

Principal photography began on 3 September 2019 in Fort Kochi. Production designer Santhosh Raman recreated an entire coastal town in Kalamassery replicating 1980s, where a major part of the film was shot, and another set was created in Thiruvananthapuram. Since the film has large crowd scenes and handling crowd in real locations is difficult, they shot the film in a fictional location created by them, in a controlled environment.
