Asif Ali came wiping his tears when called for re-take; screenwriter recalls 

'Kettyolaanu Ente Malakha' is a 2019 movie starring Asif Ali and Veena Nandakumar. Directed by Nissam Basheer, the film was well-received by the audience. Asif Ali played the role of Sleevachan, an ordinary farmer. Veena Nandakumar also gave a good performance as Sleevachan's wife Rinsi. The climax scene of the film was also much appreciated. Now the screenwriter of the film Aji Peter Thankam is talking about Asif's performance in the climax scene.

The climax scene is Sleevachan dropping Rinsi at her home. He had to go back after leaving her at home. They fall in love that same night. It is in the climax scene that Sleevachan realizes how much he loves his wife. That's why he's in tears. There is no obligation for the husband to cry, but Sleevachan is innocent. The point is that Asif Ali did the role brilliantly.

He got into that character very well. I still remember how it was after that shot. Asif was still in character with teary eyes at the time of retake. Asif came wiping his tears when called for re-take. He was so emotional. Maybe I only wrote that Sleevachan should speak with sadness in the script. But Asif actually cried and did it beautifully' - said Aji Peter Thankam. Aji Peter said this in an interview given to Silly monks Mollywood.
