Posters for recent films, such as Bramayugam, Diés Iraé and Lokah in Malayalam, and Alpha and Tumbbad 2 in Hindi, caught attention for their minimalist yet detail-filled designs. Turns out the person behind them is a 26-year-old Malayalam actor and designer. Find out how one thing led to another for this South Indian actor who was approached by Yash Raj Films.
On Aesthetic Kunjamma’s page, Arun and his team thanked YRF when they released the poster of Alpha in March. They also wrote, “An exciting journey collaborating with the team on this one. Grateful to everyone who continues to support us and to the new filmmakers who believe in our vision.” The poster teases Alia’s first look from the spy thriller, with her look hidden behind an alpha symbol. The YRF spy universe film will also star Sharvari and Bobby Deol.
In April, he announced that he was designing for Tumbbad 2 by releasing a motion poster and writing, “ TUMBBAD 2 . Honoured to kickstart our campaign with this motion design video created for the second instalment of Tumbbad. Tumbbad 2 marks our next Bollywood film, and we’re super excited to collaborate with @sohumshahfilms and @penmovies on this one.” While Arun’s dream has always been to be an actor, he mentions that designing was just another creative outlet till he made it big.
