Rekhachithram trailer: Asif Ali sets out to unravel mystery surrounding Anaswara Rajan as ‘only corpses are left behind wherever she has been’

ICYMI | Identity trailer: Tovino Thomas, Trisha promise the ‘ultimate suspense action thriller spectacle of the season’

Once Anaswara Rajan’s character is introduced, the trailer hits full throttle, amplifying the mystery surrounding her, particularly since, as the narrative teases, “she was a good actor in real life too. “While the trailer reveals little about her character, it does show that she aspired to become an actor. Yet, those who knew her as well have one lingering question even now: “Who is she?”

“Wherever she’s been, only corpses are left behind,” Asif’s character says, setting the tone for the movie’s mystery-filled atmosphere. Interestingly, this marks Asif Ali’s fifth role as a cop, following his acclaimed performances in Ithu Thaanda Police (2016), Kuttavum Shikshayum (2022), Kooman (2022) and Thalavan (2024).
