Naslen Dazzles In Viral ‘Apna Friday Aayega’ Track From Mollywood Times, Fans In Awe

The Malayalam film industry has found its viral moment this week, and it belongs to Naslen K. Gafoor.

The young actor sets the screen alight in the energetic track Apna Friday Aayega released on Saturday from the upcoming film Mollywood Times, directed by Abhinav Sunder Nayak.

Fresh off the critical success of Mukundan Unni Associates, Abhinav returns with what appears to be a vibrant blend of satire, humour, and ambition.

The newly released song, which has already crossed over 3 million views on YouTube in a day, showcases Naslen in an entirely new avatar—suave, confident, and remarkably agile on the dance floor. Dressed in a sharp tuxedo, he delivers a performance that marks a striking departure from his earlier roles.

What elevates the track beyond its catchy beats is its opening monologue.

His conviction voices a line that resonates with dreamers that hard work, passion, and talent can take one anywhere. This underlying theme hints at the protagonist’s cinematic aspirations, layered with a playful yet ambitious edge.
