Malabar is known as the mecca for football in Kerala, especially sevens tournaments. African players are recruited by different clubs here and given chance to play the tournament. For six months (November to May), which is the season for sevens tournaments, these players stay with local residents, adapting to their food, culture, and way of life.
The latest teaser was released on March 10th on Social media. The trailer shows Soubin Shahir goes to meet a girl to propose marriage. Asks the girl about her qualifications and in return, she rips him apart and politely says sorry(No).
Directed by Zakariya, the film is expected to be a comedy film. It is produced by Sameer Thahir and Shyju Khalid, with a screenplay by Muhsin Parari and Zakariya. Rex Vijayan has composed the music.
The trailer which came last month also was quite attractive, which shows the love of Malabar for football.

It’s amusing to see how these players try to fit into the Malayali neighborhood. There is a humorous style of dialogue delivery, with a touch of Malabar simplicity and rawness.
