'Innocent' second-look poster out: Althaf Salim & Anarkali Marikar return with a nostalgic comedy vibe

Following the success of 'Mandakini', fan-favorite duo Althaf Salim and Anarkali Marikar are reuniting for their next Malayalam venture titled 'Innocent'. The film’s second-look poster has now been unveiled.

"He's coming to shake up the system!"


Althaf Salim, who plays one of the leads in the movie, took to his Instagram handle to share the second look poster and penned a note that read, "അവൻ വരുന്നു, സിസ്റ്റം പൊളിച്ചടക്കാൻ ! കൂടെ അനുഗമിക്കുന്നവർ ....("He's coming to shake up the system! And those following him....") Althaf Salim's post was soon flooded with comments. One comment read, "Best wishes Althaf." Another one commented, "Note that name @kili_paul." A third comment read, "Is this Mandakini 2?."

A nod to ' Vadakkunokkiyantram '


The newly released poster pays homage to the classic Malayalam film 'Vadakkunokkiyantram'. The poster has sparked comparisons to its iconic characters Thalathil Dineshan and Shobha. The visual hint suggests Innocent will be dipped in quirky humour, nostalgic elements, and other factors to entertain the family audience.



Kili Paul joins the cast


Tanzanian internet sensation Kili Paul is set to make his Malayalam film debut with Innocent. Known for his viral lip-syncs and love for Indian cinema, Kili’s presence is expected to bring a fun global flavour to the film and expand its reach beyond regional borders.


Impressive crew


'Innocent' is directed by Satheesh Thanvi. The script is penned by Shihab Karunagappally, with Sarji Vijayan and director Satheesh contributing to the screenplay and dialogues. The supporting cast includes Joemon Jyothir, Azees Nedumangad, and Anna Prasad.


Will recreate 'Mandakini' charm?


Althaf Salim and Anarkali Marikar teamed up previously for the film 'Mandakini', which received good reviews from the audiences and turned out to be a superhit. With 'Innocent's second look poster and the overall look being similar to 'Mandakini', movie buffs are expecting another superhit from the duo.
