Lucifer was born on the sets of Tiyaan : Prithviraj

Shoot for Prithviraj’s upcoming movie Tiyaan was recently completed in Hyderabad. Indrajith, Prithviraj, Shine Tom Chacko, Murali Gopy, Padmapriya and Ananya play the lead roles in the movie. It is one of the most anticipated movies of the year. Murali Gopy has written this movie while newcomer Jiyen Krishnakumar is the director. The movie is said to be a socio-political drama set in the backdrop of North India. Prithviraj is playing the character Aslan Mohammed while Indrajith’s character is named as Pattabhiraman. The actor in his Facebook post has written that Aslan Mohammed is one of the most complex characters ever written for him. Indrajith has also said that Pattabhiraman was the most challenging roles in his career. Tight secrecy maintained by the team, the massive production scale and the involvement of big names have all piqued the curiosity levels of the audience.

Interestingly, the idea for Prithviraj’s debut directorial Lucifer starring Mohanlal in the lead was born on the sets of Tiyaan. Lucifer is written by Murali Gopy who is also the scriptwriter of Tiyaan. Lucifer is Murali Gopy’s pet project which he had been working on for many years now. Late director, Rajesh Pillai was initially set to direct the movie but the project could not take off due to some unknown reasons. Apparently, during the shoot of Tiyaan, Murali narrated Lucifer’s idea to Prithviraj and suggested him to direct the movie. They met Mohanlal and over some discussions, the project was ultimately born.

Mohanlal announced about Lucifer last year. The movie will be produced by Antony Perumbavoor under Mohanlal’s own production house Aashirvad Cinemas. More details about the cast, crew or even the genre of the movie has not yet been announced. It is still not clear when the movie will start rolling.

Mohanlal and Prithviraj had earlier assured that Lucifer will not be just another commercial potboiler. So, the audience have pinned humongous expectations on the movie.
