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.
Prithviraj's projects
Meanwhile, Prithviraj's upcoming directorial Empuraan, starring Mohanlal, is set to be the most expensive film made in the Malayalam film industry. The movie will be shot in six countries, with an expected budget of Rs 100-150 crore. Prithviraj has already scouted locations for the film, and according to reports, Empuraan will feature events that occurred both before and after the timeline of the movie Lucifer.
Prithviraj will be also seen in KGF director Prashanth Neel's Salaar, along with Prabhas. The Jana Gana Mana actor also has projects like Bade Miyan Chote Miyan and an untitled Hindi movie with Kajol.
