Actor Akash Murali is stepping into the spotlight with his debut film, Nesippaya, an emotional drama that delves into the extremes one would go for love. Produced by Xavier Britto of XB Film Creators and directed by the acclaimed Vishnuvardhan, the film is set for a grand worldwide release on January 14, 2025. With high expectations riding on the project, Akash Murali opens up about his journey and the film’s essence.
A Bundle of Emotions Before the Release
When asked about his feelings ahead of the release, Akash shared, “I’m having butterflies in my stomach, and I’m unable to calm down until the audience and critics share their opinions. But I am overwhelmed with the response many have shared after watching the film’s visual promos and songs. I am hopefully looking forward to the response to the full-length feature film.”
The actor’s excitement and anxiety are understandable, as Nesippaya promises a blend of a compelling narrative, a stellar ensemble cast, and exceptional production quality.
The film’s trailer has already stirred curiosity with its star-studded cast and stunning visuals. Talking about the plot, Akash reveals, “The story is simple but carries an intense emotional layer beneath it. Nesippaya is about a man’s extremity to do anything for his love.”
Reflecting on his experience, Akash describes it as surreal: “I got an opportunity to work with one of the country’s greatest filmmakers. Vishnuvardhan has engraved an impeccable status in Bollywood with his magnum opus film, and to be a part of his immediate next project is bliss.”
He adds praise for his co-stars, calling Aditi a “wonderful co-star” eager to push the boundaries of her craft, and expressing gratitude for working alongside veteran performers like Kalki Koechlin, Prabhu, Sarath Kumar and Khushboo. “I grew up watching their films, and to share screen space with them is an honor.”
The film’s technical brilliance is backed by a talented crew by Pa Vijay, Vignesh Shivan and Adesh Krishna who have written the lyrics, Yuvan Shankar Raja scoring the music, Cameron Eric Brison handling the Cinematography and A.Sreekar Prasad on the Editing table.
With a team like this, Nesippaya promises not just emotional depth but also a cinematic experience to remember.
As Nesippaya gears up for its release, all eyes are on Akash Murali, who carries the hopes of the audience and industry alike. The debutant’s heartfelt performance, combined with Vishnuvardhan’s masterful direction, makes Nesippaya a film to watch out for this Pongal 2025.
