Bethlehem Kudumba Unit, starring Nivin Pauly and Mamitha Baiju in the lead roles, went on to become the biggest-ever hit of Malayalam cinema. The film is directed by Girish AD of Premalu fame and backed by Fahadh Faasil under Bhavana Studios.
In an interview with Variety India, Fahadh Faasil explained what made the film such a mega blockbuster. “I believe good and fresh content will always work. All credit goes to the entire team, especially director Girish AD and Nivin Pauly. What a wonderful, honest script, the age-gap romance, the packaging, the humor… everything landed perfectly. And we got the perfect release date during the Onam holidays,” said the actor.
Fahadh Faasil added, “I believe that, as a producer, it’s my job to get the right script and marketing. I’m always on the lookout for good stories and fresh talent. In my case, most of the time, it has worked.” The actor is now gearing up for the release of his Telugu film Don’t Trouble The Trouble, which releases on October 2.
