Posters for recent films such as Bramayugam, Diés Iraé, and Lokah in Malayalam, and Alpha and Tumbbad 2 in Hindi, caught attention for their minimalist yet detail-filled designs.
Arun Ajikumar, a 26-year-old Malayalam actor and designer, is the person behind these striking visuals.
Arun is the founder and creative head of Aesthetic Kunjamma, a firm that designs posters, handles branding, and marketing.
He recently worked on posters for films like Patriot, Vrushakarma, and Mysaa.
Arun's journey as a designer began with the monochrome posters of Mammootty's Bramayugam, but it was Kalyani Priyadarshan's Lokah that changed the game for him.
Yash Raj Films approached Arun's team for their action film, Alpha, and the makers of Tumbbad 2 also collaborated with him due to his previous work on horror projects.
Arun's dream has always been to be an actor, but designing was just another creative outlet till he made it big.
