Fahadh Faasil's ‘Simple' phone sparks online frenzy; Turns out it's worth lakhs
(Picture Courtesy: Facebook) Actor Fahadh Faasil has once again shown that when it comes to style and substance, he does things his own way. The 'Aavesham' star recently attended a puja ceremony for the upcoming film 'Mollywood Times', and what caught everyone's attention wasn't the event itself—but the phone he was using. A keypad phone in 2025? Netizens were intrigued. That curiosity quickly turned into amazement once the brand and price were revealed. Fahadh's retro-modern statement: A Vertu in his pocket What looked like a basic keypad phone in Fahadh's hands was soon identified as a Vertu—an ultra-premium British phone brand originally founded by Nokia. Social media was abuzz, with some identifying the model as the Vertu Ascent Black, created in collaboration with Ferrari, costing around Rs 1 lakh. Others speculated it might be a more exclusive vintage model, possibly worth over Rs 7 lakh. Either way, it's far from a 'simple' phone. Vinay Fort speaks out: 'He doesn't even have Instagram!' Adding to the charm of the moment, actor Vinay Fort said in an interview with Club FM, 'Fahadh Faasil uses a keypad phone. He is not active on social media and doesn't have an Instagram page. I envy him in this matter.' According to Timeline Daily, Vertu has recently ventured into tech-forward territory with its MetaVertu series, designed for the ultra-wealthy. These phones, like the MetaVertu 1 and MetaVertu Curve, combine traditional luxury with Web3 features like decentralised identity, private key encryption, and a dual interface for switching between Web2 (Android) and Web3 environments. With prices ranging from Rs 1 lakh to Rs 70 lakh, Vertu phones represent not just style—but serious digital sophistication.
