'Tourist Family' director Abishan Jeevinth set to turn hero; Anaswara Rajan likely to join as lead
(Picture Courtesy: Facebook) Abishan Jeevinth , the breakout director of the superhit film 'Tourist Family', is reportedly all set to make his debut as a full-fledged actor. Known for his heartfelt storytelling and modest filmmaking approach, Abishan had already made a brief on-screen appearance in 'Tourist Family' as a grieving youngster—a role that, though small, left an emotional mark. Now, according to the reports, he's ready to take on a lead role in an upcoming project. Tourist Family | Song - Aachaley After directorial success, Abishan steps into the spotlight This new venture, which marks Abishan's official foray into acting, will reportedly be directed by a close associate from his Tourist Family crew. While the title is said to be in English, and Anaswara Rajan is rumoured to play the female lead, no formal announcements have been made so far, according to IANS. Love for 'Tourist Family' Tourist Family, released on May 1, surprised many with its feel-good charm and exceptional box office performance. Featuring Sasikumar and Simran in lead roles, the film also starred Yogi Babu, M.S. Bhaskar, Ramesh Thilak, and others in a wholesome narrative that connected with family audiences. ETimes gave the movie a rating of 2.5 stars out of 5 and our review read, "The film finds its anchor in the central performances. Their natural chemistry is a definite plus. The younger son, played by Kamalesh, also provides moments of genuine levity (though sometimes his chatter grates), and the film's use of authentic Sri Lankan Tamil dialect adds a valuable layer of realism to their interactions. 'Tourist Family' is a gentle look at the challenges of starting over, even if the narrative feels somewhat formulaic." Meanwhile, Anaswara Rajan recently impressed the audience with her stunning performance in the Malayalam film 'Rekhachithram'.

From Sydney to Hollywood: A storied career Born in Sydney in 1968, McMahon began his on-screen journey on Australian soaps before moving to America.

Nicolas Cage, who worked with McMahon on The Surfer, called him 'kind and intelligent,' stating that 'Julian is one of my favorite people.' As a final tribute, Netflix fans will see McMahon in The Residence, his posthumous farewell. His legacy endures in the characters he brought to life and the joy he shared on and off screen.
