Asif Ali had a successful start to the year with the hit film Rekhachithram, which was the first box office hit for Mollywood in 2025. However, the actor's fortunes have taken a turn for the worse since then, with Mirage being the third consecutive flop in his filmography.

Mirage's official synopsis describes it as a story about a woman named Abhirami who seeks her missing fiancé Kiran, joining forces with journalist Aswin. Their investigation reveals an intricate web of secrets, drawing them into a mystery more complex than anticipated. The film has received a rating of 6 on IMDb and is currently streaming on Sony Liv in India.
