Twenty-two years after Ente Veedu Appuvinteyum, father-son duo Jayaram and Kalidas Jayaram are reuniting for director G. Prajith’s Ashakal Aayiram, set to release on February 6. The makers on Tuesday unveiled a teaser of the film, offering a glimpse into the fun-filled bond between a father and his son.

The teaser of Ashakal Aayiram opens with Jayaram and Kalidas standing outside their home, as the former’s wife and the latter’s mother open the door for them. Without saying a word, the two enter the house while trying to find footing. What seems like great “acting” to them is fooling no one, and you can tell within seconds that they are drunk.

After getting out of the line of sight of his wife, Jayaram tells his son, “She didn’t even realise that I am drunk. That’s acting! Kalidas replies, “She didn’t realise I am drunk either; that too is acting.” The two brush each other off as Jayaram starts making his way to the room. As he is about to take the wrong turn, his wife screams from behind, “Right,” and Kalidas can be seen wearing sunglasses in the background and trying to make his way upstairs. At this point the mother exclaims to her daughter, “Chugs cheap booze, stumbles in on shaky legs, and apparently that’s acting.”

Jayaram and Kalidas Jayaram have previously worked together in films like Sathyan Anthikad’s Kochu Kochu Santhoshangal (2000) and Sibi Malayil’s Ente Veedu Appuvinteyum (2003).

The cast of Ashakal Aayiram includes Jayaram, Kalidas Jayaram, Asha Sharath, Sharafudheen, Ishani Krishna, Anand Manmadhan, and Akhil Nrd.
