Now, Fahadh Faasil has once again delighted fans by revisiting Ranga on stage. At a promotional event for his upcoming Malayalam rom-com Odum Kuthira Chaadum Kuthira, the actor surprised the audience by recreating his much-loved Aavesham dance steps. A video from the event, showing Fahadh channeling his inner Ranga with the same charm and eccentricity, has taken social media by storm, with netizens showering love on 'Fafa' for bringing back those viral moves. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Mohammed Sanif KH (@sanif_uc_gram) The College Event That Went Viral The promotional event was hosted at a college in Kerala and saw the entire cast and crew of Odum Kuthira Chaadum Kuthira in attendance. Actress Kalyani Priyadarshan, who stars opposite Fahadh in the film, was seen clapping enthusiastically as he recreated the dance steps.

Kalyani, visibly impressed by Fahadh's energy, later explained the essence of the film in a single, intriguing line, 'Basically, if a Korean rom-com story is narrated satirically in a Woody Allen or Wes Anderson style, how would that be — that is Odum Kuthira Chaadum Kuthira."
