Narain and Meera Jasmine reunite in Queen Elizabeth

Meera Jasmine and Narain, who have appeared together in some notable films earlier, are counted among the most popular pairs in Malayalam cinema. Achuvinte Amma, Ore Kadal and Minnaminnikoottam are some of the movies in which they worked together. They also shared screen space in Mazhaneer Thullikal, but unfortunately the film never made it to the theatres. Now after 15 years, Meera and Narain will once again be seen together in Queen Elizabeth, directed by M Padmakumar.

The makers of the upcoming movie have released a new poster, featuring Meera and Narain, hinting at an entertainer. In a previous poster, Narain was seen in front of a mirror, carefully applying cream on his face. He plays the role of Alex, a gentle and innocent 35-year-old.

Meera, on the other hand, will essay what’s said to be one of the strongest characters in her acting career. She made her reentry to Malayalam cinema last year through Jayaram’s Makal, which received a cold response.

Director Padamakumar also shared his excitement over bringing back the popular onscreen couple. He attempts a completely different genre from the films he has directed so far.  Arun T Sathyan, who wrote the feel-good entertainer Rakshadhikari Baiju, has penned the script for Queen Elizabeth. According to the writer, the film is a rom-com, with a satirical tone.

Akhilesh Mohan, who edited films like Bro Daddy and Kuruthi, dons the role of the editor in this film. The movie also stars Shwetha Menon, Ramesh Pisharody and Mallika Sukumaran in lead roles. It’s shot in locations like Kochi, Kuttikkanam and Coimbatore.

Narain was last seen in the blockbuster hit of the year - 2018: Everyone is a Hero. He essayed the role of a fisherman in the movie, which dealt with the devastating floods that occurred in Kerala in 2018. The actor, who has worked in both Tamil and Malayalam films, is having a good period in his career. Last year, he was featured alongside Kamal Hassan in the superhit film Vikram. According to reports, he will also be seen in the upcoming projects of director Lokesh Kanagaraj.
