Priyadarshan’s magnum opus Marakkar – Arabikadalinte Simham with Mohanlal is getting ready to go on floors on Kerala Piravi Day (November 1). Pre-production works for the movie are currently underway. This epic film has been planned to be made on a budget of over Rs 100 crores. Aashirvad Cinemas, Confident Group and Moonshot Entertainment are jointly funding this movie.
The makers are yet to announce the full cast and crew. Apart from Mohanlal, veteran actor Madhu, Prabhu and Pranav Mohanlal are the only other actors who are confirmed in the cast. Reports about Bollywood and Suniel Shetty playing a crucial role in the movie have been doing the rounds for a long time now. In a recent interaction with medias, the actor himself revealed that he is indeed a part of Marakkar – Arabikadalinte Simham.
Priyadarshan shares a great rapport with Suniel Shetty as they have worked together in numerous films. Reports suggest that the director is also in talks with Paresh Rawal and Telugu superstar Nagarjuna. Markkar is being planned as a multi-lingual with leading stars from all major Indian languages. Arabian and Chinese actors will also be part of the cast.
On the technical front, Priyadarshan has got Sabu Cyril to handle the production design. National award winner Tirru will be the DOP. Some other leading technicians from India and abroad are also expected to be associated with this ambitious project.
