After Mumbai Police, Rahman and Prithviraj to team up once again!

Veteran actor Rahman has been roped in to play a prominent role in the movie. The actor in a recent interview to TOI has said that his character is a daring step in Malayalam cinema. Apparently, it is a very challenging character and the actor is very much excited about playing it. Rahman last shared screen space with Prithviraj in the superhit movie Mumbai Police.
