Nivin Pauly to star in Peranbu director Ram’s next

Buzz is that acclaimed Tamil filmmaker Ram is planning to rope in Nivin Pauly for his next. Suresh Kamatchi, who is producing Simbu’s upcoming film ‘Maanadu’, will be backing this project as well. As things are still in the early stages, an official announcement is expected to be made only after finalizing the remaining cast and crew.

Ram is one of the most revered filmmakers in Kollywood. He has made critically acclaimed films like ‘Kattradhu Tamizh’, ‘Thanga Meengal’ and ‘Taramani’. His last film ‘Peranbu’ starring Malayalam superstar Mammootty was a widely appreciated one that went on to be screened in several international film festivals. It will be interesting to see how he utilizes an actor like Nivin Pauly.

Nivin, meanwhile, has multiple projects lined up in Malayalam. He recently finished shooting for ‘Kanakam Kamini Kalaham’ directed by Ratheesh Balakrishnan of ‘Android Kunjappan’ fame. The actor still has a few portions left to be shot for ‘Padavettu’. His much-hyped film, ‘Thuramukham’ is set for its world premiere at the International Film Festival of Rotterdam (IFFR). ‘Gangster of Mundanmala’, ‘Bismi Special’ and an untitled film with Abrid Shine are his other projects in the pipeline.
