Actor Fahadh Faasil explained why he has reservations about dealing with religion in his films. In an interview with Galatta Plus, the ‘Aavesham’ actor explained that people in Kerala were not ready to hear the harsh reality. Fahadh Faasil also spoke about his film, ‘Trance’, and why the film failed to attain commercial success.
Fahadh Faasil and Nazriya Nazim’s ‘Trance’ was a film that attempted to talk about the industry of religion in Kerala. During the interview, he said that religion is one top that he wouldn’t touch again.
Explaining his decision, he said, “I have my reservations about dealing with religion in Kerala. I don’t think people want to hear the harsh reality, if I may say. They want to be entertained.”
He continued, “‘Trance’ lacked the entertainment factor. There was a lot of awareness and things like that, but the entertainment factor was taken away from the film at some point. That’s where we failed. Having said that, a corrected second half of ‘Trance’ would make a lot of difference. But I wouldn’t touch religion for a while in Kerala.”
Here’s the trailer of ‘Trance’:
‘Trance’ is a psychological thriller features Fahadh Faasil, Gautham Vasudev Menon, Dileesh Pothan, Nazriya Nazim, Chemban Vinod Jose and Soubin Shahir in pivotal roles. The film, which released in 2020, received positive reviews. However, it couldn’t translate into box office success.
Fahadh Faasil’s ‘Trance’ was delayed multiple times after the censor board sent the film to the revising committee. THe CBFC suggested several cuts, which the makers didn’t agree to.
Fahadh Faasil will be seen next in ‘Pushpa: The Rule’, ‘Vettaiyan’ and ‘Maareesan’.
