CBI series director K Madhu all set to make a comeback
K Madhu is a director well known for his suspense-thriller films. His collaboration with Mammootty and writer SN Swamy resulted in the most popular franchise of Mollywood – the CBI series. They have already made four films in the franchise and talks about a fifth film are still doing the rounds. Meanwhile, the director announced a mega two-part project based on the lives of Travancore’s legendary kings, Marthanda Varma and Karthika Varma. ‘Baahubali’ star Rana Daggubati is starring in the first film, Anizham Thirunal Marthanda Varma – The King of Travancore. The director is currently in Canada for the movie’s pre-production works.
Along with that, K Madhu is also set to make a comeback as a producer. His production house, Krishna Kripa, will be backing two films next year. One will be directed by Arun Gopy and the other by M Padmakumar. Arun Gopy, who is a former associate of K Madhu, made his directorial debut with the superhit ‘Ramaleela’. He is currently working with Pranav Mohanlal for a movie titled ‘Irupathiyonnam Noottandu’.
After that, Arun Gopy will start works for his film to be funded by K Madhu’s banner. The movie is being scripted by Udhayakrishna. M Padmakumar’s film is scripted by Robin Thirumala. Casting for both the films have not yet been finalized but talks within the industry suggest that the makers are in talks with some big stars.
