Naslen: From the moment Naslen K. Gafoor stepped into the Malayalam film industry, he brought with him a refreshing mix of charm, comic timing, and boy-next-door relatability. Now, with several OTT-friendly hits under his belt, Naslen has quietly become one of the most loved young actors in Malayalam cinema. If you’ve been meaning to explore his work or simply want to revisit his best, here are five must-watch titles on streaming platforms that showcase his versatility and screen presence.
This blockbuster romantic comedy set in Hyderabad became an instant fan favorite. Naslen plays Sachin, a young man torn between awkward first love and hilarious misadventures. His comedic rhythm, paired with heartfelt moments, made Premalu a breakout hit, not just for the writing, but largely because of Naslen’s pitch-perfect performance.
Naslen K. Gafoor made his film debut in the 2019 Malayalam coming-of-age comedy-drama Thanneer Mathan Dinangal, directed by Girish A.D. In the film, he portrays Melvin, Naslen’s natural comedic timing and witty dialogue delivery garnered attention, marking his entry into the Malayalam film industry.
In this quirky romantic satire, Naslen plays a self-proclaimed ‘lover boy’ navigating the absurdities of modern dating. Equal parts funny and heartfelt, I Am Kathalan uses satire to explore relationships, with Naslen embracing the eccentricities of his character with confidence and ease.
One of Naslen’s earlier crowd-pleasers, Jo & Jo is a sibling comedy where he shines as the mischievous and relatable character named ‘Sundaran’. His chemistry with the rest of the ensemble cast and natural comic delivery made the film an OTT favorite, especially among younger viewers.
A bold coming-of-age tale, 18+ deals with themes of adolescence, identity, and freedom. Naslen’s performance here is raw, real, and unlike anything he’s done before. The film doesn’t shy away from uncomfortable truths, and Naslen rises to the challenge with striking maturity.
