Prithviraj Sukumaran's next is with Thallumaala director? Here's what we know...

The actor is having a busy year with many projects in hand, including his directorial Empuraan, which stars Mohanlal

Khalid Rahman and Prithviraj Sukumaran

Prithviraj Sukumaran is a busy actor and director, who has multiple projects in hand. He is preparing to being shooting for Empuraan , his third film as a director, which is the sequel to the hit film, Lucifer. He is also yet to complete filming for two other movies: Vilayath Buddha and Guruvayoor Ambala Nadayil. In addition, he has reportedly signed a film with director Khalid Rahman.

Although rumours about this collaboration have been circulating for a while, recent reports confirm that Prithviraj has listened to the story and pre-production work will begin soon. If everything goes as planned, this film will be Khalid Rahman's next project. However, it is unlikely that filming will begin this year, since Prithviraj will be busy with Empuraan, which was delayed after an accident he encountered on the set of Vilayath Buddha.

The Thallumaala director likes to experiment

Khalid Rahman is known for his ability to direct both commercial and content-oriented films. His debut film, the romantic family drama Anuraga Karikkin Vellam, was a box-office success. Unda, the action film starring Mammootty, which was a social commentary, was a highly acclaimed film. His experimental film Love, starring Shine Tom Chacko and Rajisha Vijayan, also got him attention on OTT platforms. Rahman's latest film, Thallumaala, starring Tovino Thomas, was his most recent theatrical release. Thallumaala is one of the biggest commercial hits in Malayalam.
