Mohanlal starrer Lucifer to be made into an eight episode Hindi web series, Prithviraj Sukumaran likely to return as its director

Prithviraj Sukumaran who is currently in the news for his recently released film Kuruthi has revealed that his directorial debut Lucifer might soon be converted into a web series. The 2019 Mohanlal starrer Malayalam film is in talks to be remade as an eight episodes web series.

The actor-director while talking to Film Companion revealed an interesting detail about Lucifer and said that the project was initially imagined as a three-part series. “Lucifer, the film itself, was initially thought of as a series. There are still discussions about doing Lucifer as an eight-episode series in Hindi. When we first thought of Lucifer, we knew the arc of the story from the beginning of the first part to the end of the third part. We had plans to make it as a streaming series. Eventually, we kind of deviated towards making a feature film out of the first part,” Prithviraj said.

The film saw Mohanlal play the protagonist Stephen Nedumpally. Other key actors in the film were Manju Warrier, Vivek Oberoi, Tovino Thomas, and Indrajith.

What’s more, is that Prithviraj Sukumaran might himself direct the Hindi web series. Discussions are on and the challenge for me is to find the time. I’m happy with somebody else doing it (directing) but they’re not,” he added.

Lucifer became the highest grossing Malayalam film in 2019 raking in Rs. 200 crores at the box office.
