Rapper Hanumankind to make acting debut in Aashiq Abu’s ‘Rifle Club’

Rapper Hanumankind, who recently soared to international fame with his hit English track 'Big Dawgs," is all set for his acting debut in Aashiq Abu’s upcoming Malayalam film ‘Rifle Club’.

In the movie, Hanumankind, whose real name is Sooraj Cherukat, will portray Bheera, the volatile son of a character played by renowned filmmaker Anurag Kashyap.


Aashiq Abu took to Instagram on Sunday to share the exciting news, posting the first look poster of Hanumankind with the caption, "Introducing @hanumankind as Bheera. #RifleClubMovie hitting theatres soon!"

Interestingly, Hanumankind became a global sensation with his song "Big Dawgs," which has garnered over 57 million views on YouTube since its release on July 10. The song, known for its politically charged lyrics on identity and its visually striking music video set in a classic carnival attraction known as the 'wall of death,' currently ranks fourth on the global top music videos chart. The music video, directed by Bijoy Shetty, has been widely acclaimed for its innovative presentation and catchy track.

‘Rifle Club’ boasts an ensemble cast that includes Dileesh Pothan, Vani Viswanath, Vijayaraghavan, Vincy Aloshious, Ramzan Muhammed, Surabhi Lakshmi, and Unnimaya Prasad.

On the other hand, Aashiq Abu’s previous directorial outing was with the horror drama movie ‘Neelavelicham’ starring Tovino Thomas and Rima Kallingal in the lead. The film failed to impress the audiences.
