Malayalam ZEE5 is set to premiere the family comedy‑drama film Ashakal Aayiram on April 17, bringing a warm, everyday story of relationships and emotions to audiences on the platform. Directed by G.

The film stars Jayaram and Kalidas Jayaram in the lead roles, alongside Asha Sharath, Sharaf U Dheen, and Ishaani Krishna.
Ashakal Aayiram centres on the evolving bond between a father and son, capturing the quiet conflicts, shared dreams, misunderstandings, and emotional reconciliation that shape their relationship. Through humour and heartfelt moments, the film reflects the rhythm of everyday family life, making it a relatable and engaging watch for audiences across generations.
Jayaram on the film’s release on ZEE5 says, “Ashakal Aayiram is a story that is very close to real life. The relationship between a father and son is layered, emotional, and often unspoken, and that is what this film tries to capture with honesty and warmth. I’m happy that the film is reaching audiences through ZEE5, where families can watch and connect with it together.”
Kalidas Jayaram on playing Ajeesh Hariharan, “The film speaks about everyday emotions that many families will recognise expectations, silence, frustration, and eventually understanding. Sharing the screen with my father in a story like this made the experience even more meaningful. I’m glad Ashakal Aayiram is premiering on ZEE5, where it can find a wide and family‑oriented audience.”
