Halal Love Story Trailer: The simplistic slice-of-life story about struggle to make an independent film.

The trailer of the much-awaited Halal Love Story sums up the crux of the film and promises a laugh riot with more than a few sweet moments. The nearly three-minute-long video features Indrajith Sukumaran, Sharaf U Dheen, Joju George, Grace Antony, Soubin Shahir, Parvathy and others, who have been roped in for the movie. The film is about a group of deeply religious men, who are sick of all the films with ‘Haram’ content, coming together to make a 100% ‘Halal’ film which conforms to all the rules of their faith. The story details the chaos and confusion that follows this endeavour.

Sharaf U Dheen plays Thoufeek, a school teacher, who has been assigned the job of writing the plot of the Halal film. Indrajith is a member of the cast in the film; gruff Joju is roped in to direct it, with an angry cameraman played by Soubin Shahir. The trailer also shows Parvathy, who has a cameo appearance in the film. She features in an acting workshop conducted for the actors of the Halal movie. 

Directed by Zakariya Mohammed of Sudani From Nigeria fame, Halal Love Story will release on OTT platform Amazon Prime Video on October 15. The film will be released in over 200 countries and territories. Produced under the banner of Papaya Films, the movie is produced by Ashiq Abu, Harshad Ali and Jesna Ashim.
