Taking to her social media timelines, actress Kalyani Priyadarshan, who plays the female lead in the film, wrote, “Their love story was perfect... until the wedding.” Ashiq Usman Productions is proud to reveal the official first look of Odum Kuthira Chaadum Kuthira, helmed by Althaf Salim and starring Fahadh Faasil, Kalyani Priyadarshan, and Revathi Pillai.”

‘Njandukalude Naattil Oridavela’ featured Nivin Pauly in the lead along with Aishwarya Lekshmi. It also had a number of gifted actors like Shanthi Krishna, Siju Wilson, Ahaana Krishna, Lal and Sharafudeen in pivotal roles.

Althaf Salim, in an earlier interview to a media publication, had informed that 70 per cent of ‘Odum Kuthira Chaadum Kuthira’ would be shot in Ernakulam in Kerala and the remaining 30 per cent in Chennai.

However, the makers have now released the first look poster of the film on the festive occasion of Vishu.

The film, which has cinematography by Jinto George, has music by Justin Varghese and editing by Sundar Nayak. Art direction for the film has been handled by Ouseph John and costumes have been designed by Mashar Hamsa. The film has been produced by Ashiq Usman.
