The first look poster of 's upcoming film 'Mirage' dropped on Monday, and it's already got people talking — not for being loud or flashy, but for its quiet, haunting vibe. 'Fades as it gets closer' Starring and , the image doesn't scream action. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Instead, it leans into something slower and more psychological. Asif is seen in a pensive pose, glasses on, while Aparna stands beside him, both characters wrapped in a certain stillness. Mohanlal Confirms Drishyam 3 Release |Georgekutty Is Back A tagline on the poster reads: 'Fades as it gets closer', while the caption that came with the release — 'You kept getting closer. And this time, it didn't fade.' — only adds to the mystery. The whole thing feels like it's teasing more of a character study than a traditional thriller. Cast and crew 'Mirage' also features Hakim Shahjahan, Hannah Reji Koshy, and Sampath in supporting roles. Satheesh Kurup is handling cinematography, V S Vinayak is on editing duties, and Vishnu Shyam is composing the music. The script comes from Jeethu himself, co-written with Srinivas Abrol, based on a story by Aparna R Tarakad. Given the lineup, it's safe to say this one will aim for depth over spectacle. Jeethu Joseph has a packed slate Even as 'Mirage' rolls out its first look, Jeethu is juggling multiple projects. He's currently working on 'Valathu Vashathe Kallan' with Biju Menon and Joju George, and he's also preparing to return to the hugely popular Drishyam franchise.
