‘Rekhachithram’, directed by Jofin T Chacko and starring Asif Ali and Anaswara Rajan in the lead roles, has been drawing packed houses across theatres. The film has received glowing reviews from audiences and critics alike. Many viewers believe that ‘Rekhachithram’ will go down as one of the finest films in Asif Ali's career. There is unanimous agreement that the movie is on its way to becoming a superhit.
In the midst of all the praise, a heartfelt moment involving Asif Ali and a co-actor from ‘Rekhachithram’ has caught the attention of social media. A video of Asif consoling a distressed co-actress, Sulekha, has gone viral, sparking discussions online.
Asif revealed that after watching the film in theatres, he noticed Sulekha sitting and crying. Concerned, he approached her to find out what was wrong. It was then that he learned her scenes in the movie had been edited out entirely.
Describing the incident, Asif said: "When I saw Chechi crying, I initially thought she was emotional after watching the film. But when I approached her, she told me that she had acted in a two-shot scene that, unfortunately, didn’t make it to the final cut."
Moved by her disappointment, Asif did not hesitate to apologise. His immediate response was, “Sorry, Chechi, it was unintentional.” He went on to console her, saying:
"The scene we acted in together was so delightful. Sometimes, in films, we face length constraints, and such edits are inevitable. This has happened to all of us at some point. Let’s work together again in another film. Seeing you cry made me cry too. Please don’t be upset. Your humorous scene was absolutely fantastic.”
To make amends, Asif also assured Sulekha that her deleted scenes would be released soon. Following the release of this video, Asif Ali has been receiving widespread praise online. Fans have hailed him as a true gem of Mollywood, commending his humility and compassion.
