    Abdul Hameed Muhammed Fazil (born 4 February 1949), known mononymouslyasFazil, is an Indian film director, film producer, screenwriter and actor who works in Malayalam cinema, in addition to directing a handful of Tamil films. He made his directorial debut with the 1980 film Manjil Virinja Pookkal.[2]

College Alappuzha .[3]

    Film career[edit]

His freshman film was in the Malayalam film done with Manjil Virinja Pookkal, produced by Navodaya Appachan, which was also Mohanlal's first movie.[3] Fazil has a knack for spotting talent. He introduced some of the biggest names in films in South India:[2]

    With numerous Malayalam films, as well as several Tamil films and one Telugu film, Fazil has won the most number of State awards for the best film with popular appeal and aesthetic value.[3]

    Personal life[edit]
