Anaswara Rajan, the new ‘retro star,’ takes audiences back to the 80s

Asif Ali and Anaswara Rajan’s latest film, 'Rekhachithram', is creating waves at the box office, earning accolades for its engaging storyline and stellar performances. While Asif Ali shines as usual, it’s Anaswara Rajan who has particularly won hearts with her portrayal of Rekha.
The film has also earned Anaswara a new title among fans—'Retro Star' or 'Flashback Star'. This is largely due to her recent roles in films like 'Abraham Ozler' and 'Pranaya Vilasam', where she played characters from the 1980s. Her ability to channel the retro vibe with authenticity seems to have struck a chord with audiences, who agree that these roles suit her perfectly.

In 'Rekhachithram', Anaswara plays Rekha, a junior artist with dreams of making it big in the film industry. Rekha is portrayed as an ardent Mammootty fan, who lovingly writes fan letters to the actor and calls him 'Mammootty chettan'. This affectionate nickname has now gone viral, with fans flooding Anaswara’s social media posts with 'Mammootty chettan' comments.
Anaswara’s performance as Rekha, coupled with her growing reputation as a 'Retro Star', is proof of her versatility and undeniable charm, making her one of the most exciting young talents in Malayalam cinema today.
