At a recent film puja event, actor Fahadh Faasil was seen using what looked like a simple keypad phone. However, it turned out to be a luxury Vertu Ascent Retro Classic, worth Rs 10.2 lakh.
The UK-made, handcrafted phone is currently out of stock, indicating it may have been with him for a while.
Fahadh, known for his private lifestyle, rarely appears in public. Though fans were excited to see him, it was his phone that caught attention.
A viral video from the event shows him using it casually, surprising many with its high value hidden behind a basic look.
Actor Vinay Forrt had earlier shared that Fahadh avoids smartphones and social media, preferring simpler phones, though he hadn’t named the brand.
Professionally, Fahadh was recently seen in Pushpa 2 and has several projects coming up. Reports also suggest he might debut in Bollywood with Imtiaz Ali’s The Idiot of Istanbul.
