Based on a true story, ‘Manjummel Boys’ is a story of incredible resilience from a group of friends who successfully rescue their friend from the scary depths of a cave in a remote tourist spot in Kodaikanal.
And now, a new revelation has been made related to the film. Subhash, the character played by Sreenath Bhasi was supposed to be played by Mollywood hero Asif Ali.
“I have been part of discussions from Chidambaram’s first movie. It was me who was supposed to fall in the cave. After being part of many discussions, I thought I would be a liability to the movie, because of my tight schedule.” said Asif Ali.
Asif Ali’s revelation came in an interview given to a YouTube channel called ‘Movie World Media’.
Asif Ali’s latest film ‘Kishkindha Kaandam’ was critically acclaimed and a huge financial success.
