Prithviraj to star in Detroit Crossing
Prithviraj who is of late on a signing spree has officially confirmed his new project through his social media page. The movie is apparently titled Detroit Crossing, a another crossover movie after Ivde. Nirmal Sahadev who earlier assisted Shyamaprasad in Ivde, another Prithviraj starrer, is directing this crime drama which is again set in the US. It was during the shooting of Ivde that Nirmal Sahavdev narrated the story to Prithviraj and together they have been working on the project for over an year now.
Detroit Crossing will be entirely shot in the city of Detroit, Michigan. The director informs that the story is inspired from certain true events, and happens around the street gangs in the cities of Detroit and Toronto. These areas were notorious for Tamil street gangs as well. Prithviraj is playing a character who gets involved in such a gang, and how gets out from these gangs. There will also be a lot of romantic elements to it as well. The makers are yet to zero in on a female lead.
The film will be a bilingual and will be made in Malayalam and Tamil, probably English as well. Since there are a lot of Tamil elements in the movie,the makers are trying to rope in some big names from the Tamil film industry. Detroit Crossing is proposed as a big budget project. The shooting is set to begin only by the end of this year or early next year.
Meanwhile the director who also worked as the chief associate director in the Fahad Fazil starrer Monsoon Mangoes, is all praise for Prithviraj. Nirmal considers him as an amazing mentor and a great friend who is straightforward and dedicated.
Prithviraj’s upcoming release is Oozham,a crime thriller directed by Jeethu Joseph, expected to hit the screens on September 9th. Ezra, My story, Tiyaan ,Beautiful Game, Karnan are his other projects waiting in the pipeline.
