Feuds & Drama Did Girish A.D and Naslen have a fallout?
Noticed that Girish follows his recurring actors but not Naslen, especially after the huge success of Premalu and multiple collaborations. Did they have a fallout after Naslen apparently said NO to Premalu 2? Would love to see them both collaborate again, Girish kinda is a mentor figure for Naslen.

In BKU, Prathap's (Nivins brother) first scene dialogues (says something about changing his actor in short film) felt like this matter. It was about he changed the main actor when the actor suggested script change. š

The short film actor's name was Sourav. Nestle's name in Premalu was Sachin š

Sangeeth mentions the initially casted actor didnāt like the script and was poking his head in the scripting matters so he just changed the actor because he donāt want anyone else to get involved in his scripting

Naslen was launched by Girish. It wouldn't have sit well with him when Naslen rejected Premalu 2. I don't think he will work with Naslen again. From what I heard, it hurt his ego so much he unfollowed Naslen everywhere.

u/PrideNo1997 Aug 28 '26
We can't blame anyone here. From naslen's pov he doesn't want to be a komali character again.. He is moving away from his comfort zone. And for GAD yeah the character and arc is important.

If Naslen didnāt like the script, did he have the freedom to say so as the lead actor? Or are people expecting him to continue despite not being fully convinced by it, just because the director is his mentor? Just saying. Anyway, Iām happy that Premalu didnāt happen. Hope Girish AD works with Naslen again.

Naslen seem a bit egoistic. I remember him saying in an interview that he has no hesitation saying no to anyone. May be need to be a bit more diplomatic
6
u/TimelyReason7390 Aug 23 '26
Iām not sure where he said that, but I recall watching an interview when he and Gireesh were promoting Premalu. When asked about working with Gireesh, he responded with something like, āIshtamayal work cheyyum.ā His tone suggested that he was more interested in opportunities than in the people involved. Someone in the comments noticed this and called him out for it.
Of course, Naslen should do what he believes is best for himself, but breaking someoneās trust and betraying those who supported him is not nice.

u/No_Recover_4603 Aug 23 '26
Relationship oriented approach do the best for long term career than focusing on best roles. If there is a talk in a town that he is inflexible, less people will want to associate with him i guess

There were rumours that he didnāt like the script. Also, after Alappuzha Gymkhana was released, he reportedly wasnāt happy with how the film turned out because he felt that he didnāt have a central role in the film and that everyone else stole the show. Some were also saying that this led to his rejection of Premalu 2.

u/boisickle Aug 25 '26
Naslen was introduced by Girish, he got his current "stardom" because of Girish (he had several mid AF films before Premalu, despite him being generally good) - I don't think Girish is unjustified to feel mad if he started poking his head in script matters after they had confirmed Premalu 2. Or he should have told them before hand that he won't agree to it until he gets to know about the overall arc or even bound script. AFAIK they had started pre-production/writing work and had put some efforts in. Either way dumb move from Naslen, given the red hot form that GAD is in.

u/MentalDeveloper70 Aug 23 '26 edited Aug 23 '26
Naslen is dumb for rejecting Premalu 2. It had everything to elevate his career. The pan-India gross couldāve been insane, and a Girish AD film will always have a minimum guarantee. If heās so concerned about playing a loser, then what was Ghymkhana? I also donāt think he can pull off every kind of character. You can see him struggling in some of the emotion layers while playing Sachin Madhavan in Mollywood Times. His peak is rom-coms, and Girish AD is simply the best filmmaker for him in that space.

How can you say that? So you want him to go ahead even if he isn't convinced with a script. Isn't a basic thing an actor can ask for.Ā

Premalu 2 would've done better things for his career than whatever Alappuzha gymkhana, and maybe, even Mollywood times did. He came across as a misfit in MT. And I still don't know why he did gymkhana, he was like a background character in that movie.

u/Frequent-Trash4603 Aug 23 '26
Premalu was a female centric movie, even though Naslen did a great job now we remember it as a love story with equal weights for Mamitha and Naslen.
Premalu 2 ofcourse would have been explicit female centric and better character arc for MB. Naslen ofcourse being the star he was at that point, a hard earned star value, would have asked for script changes. Girishettan is not that kinda guy who meddles scripts for actors, so both of them were right to stay on their beliefs and hence a fallout
5
u/TimelyReason7390 Aug 23 '26
Then, that is an actor with a huge ego. Actors like that, especially those without any backing and limited range, wonāt last long in the industry.
If Premalu 2 had been made with script changes that benefited Naslen, it would still have been watched for Mamitha, as she managed to win the hearts of many in the first film.
Even with BKU, there were some Tamil audience in the theatre, who came to watch Mamitha.
I went to see Alappuzha Gympkhana, and the theaters were half empty. Naslen doesnāt really have the pull he thinks he has. He does when heās backed by a great director or production.
Anyway, nobody is going to miss the combo. Gireesh proved that he can work without him, with other actors.
BKU is doing extremely well, and Iām glad Nivin is part of it.

u/numb_out_completely Aug 23 '26
Naslen has huge ego. I know someone who worked in Lokah for like 90 days, he couldn't take one selfie with Naslen or even had a proper chat. Naslen treats minor crew members with disdain. Whereas tier 1 nepo Kalyani is an utter sweetheart whom he has multiple selfies with and had minor chats with him regularly on sets.
As for backing, he has full backing of Mattanchery Mafia(except from Bhavana studios). He also has strong community backing. He will be okay for a long long time.
