Confirmed: Prithviraj’s Vimmanam joins the Christmas race!
Prithviraj starrer Vimaanam is a much talked about film. The movie directed by debutant Pradeep M Nair was in the news even before it went on floors. The makers of Vimmanam and Vineeth Sreenivasan’s Aby were involved in a legal tussle over the rights of the story. Both the movies are loosely inspired from the life of Saji Thomas, a speech and hearing person who built an aircraft on his own.
Aby released earlier this year and did avergae business at the box office. Vimaanam is now gearing up for release. The team recently wrapped up the final song and are now busy with the post-production works. The director has confirmed that the movie will hit screens for the coming Christmas season.
In Vimaanam, Prithviraj is playing the role of a deaf and mute person. He plays different life stages of the protagonist, who is a high school dropout. Since the film traverses through different stages, the actor had to sport distinct looks. Prithviraj, known for his dedication, had shed around 10 kilos for authentically portraying this challenging character.
Though Vimaanam is inspired from the Saji’s life, it is not exactly a biopic. It also has a beautiful romantic track and newbie Durga Krishna is playing the female lead. The movie has a strong supporting cast which includes actors like Nedumudi Venu, Lena, Aanandam fame Anarkali Marikkar, Praveena, Sudheer Karamana, Saiju Kurup, Shanthi Krishna, Alencier and P Balachandran among others.
Vimaanam is produced by Listin Stephen under the banner of Magic Frames.
