9 aka Nine: Prithviraj’s big budget sci-fi thriller starts rolling tomorrow!

We were among the first to report about Prithviraj acting in a science-fiction thriller titled ‘9’ aka ‘Nine’. Ace filmmaker Kamal’s son Jenuse Mohamed, who made an impressive debut with ‘100 Days of Love’, is directing this movie. Prithrvaj’s newly launched production house Prithviraj Productions is funding the movie jointly with Sony Pictures International Productions.

Prithviraj through his official social media handle has informed that the movie goes on floors from tomorrow (April 9, Monday). Jenuse Mohamed has scripted this movie as an ambitious sci-fi flick, probably the first of its kind in Malayalam cinema. If reports are to be believed, Prithviraj plays a scientist in this movie, the story of which happens over nine days. Nithya Menen and Parvathy are being considered for the two female leads but an official word has not yet been made regarding the same.

Abhinandan Ramanujam, well known for his stellar works in films like ‘Amen’ and ‘Mosayile Kuthirameenukal’ will be wielding the camera and Shameer Muhammed will be editing the movie. Shaan Rahman will be composing the songs and ‘Da Thadiya’ fame Sekhar Menon has been signed to compose the original music score.
