If Kunchacko Boban is part of a movie, you can be assured there’s at least one good tale about food that transpired on the sets.

The Jamnapyari actor has long gushed about his foodie habits but Asif Ali was in for a surprise when the two filmed in Kozhikode for their latest release Rajamma@Yahoo.

Asif says, “I remember the first day of our shoot. I was meeting Chackochan after a long time, so I tell him ‘let’s order a special Kozhikode biriyani’ and he says ‘No, I just got a chef and will be having the food he cooks.’ So I imagine it will be something healthy – oats, vegetables et al.”
Asif recounts that Kunchacko Boban was kind enough to invite him over to his caravan in the afternoon. “I had to abandon my thoughts of having a tasty biriyani and replace that with diet dishes. But once I got in his caravan, I was in for a treat. There were at least 10 different items – from fish fingers to biriyani,” gushes the actor. “So what Chackochan actually does is hire a chef and make him cook whatever he wants. That’s his attitude when it comes to food.”

When it comes to love, age is just a number. The success of Premam this year captured once again that progressive mind-set of the Malayali audience, who are not averse to themes that have guys romancing older women. Director Ravikumar is now gearing up for his next movie Silent Radio, which has a similar thread.

The film has Asif Ali and Priya Mani in the lead, he informs. “Asif plays a radio mechanic. He’s an introvert, who prefers minimum contact with the outside world. But that changes when a woman (Priya Mani) who is older than him by five years enters his life and they form a beautiful friendship,” says the Ishtam scribe.

On Priya Mani’s character, Ravikumar explains, “She plays a medical transcriptionist. Her character has a mystery behind it, which gets unravelled as the movie progresses.” The movie is scripted by Ravikumar and his brother MK Padmakumar.
The actress’ last Malayalam movie was the Jayaram-starrer Njangalude Veettile Athidhikal. Asif is currently shooting for Anuraga Karikkin Vellam and has a schedule of Adventures of Omanakuttan left. Filming of Silent Radio is scheduled to begin by January first week with Fort Kochi and Rameshwaram as the main locations.
