Prithviraj has a number of releases waiting for him as he had almost complete 4 films this year. The first one Double Barrel will hit the screens on this August 27 after much waiting. Then he has releases like Amar Akbar Antony, Ennu Ninte Moideen and Anarkali as well which are at different stages of its post production. And now he is about to start his new project named Pavada on this 22nd August and it will be directed by Marthandan who had directed films like Daivathinte Swantham Cleetus and Acha Din with Mammootty in the lead.
The flick will be financed by Maniyan Pillai Raju under the banner of Maniyan Pillai Raju productions and this will be his 10th Production venture after he started with the film Aey Auto a blockbuster success starring Mohanlal and directed by Venu Nagavally way back in 1990’s. The new film Pavada will be shot at locations of Thodupuzha and Kochi.
The story takes place in a place near a not so big city. The name of the protagonist is Joy played by Prithviraj who only has basic education and ready to do each and every job that offered to him for living. Once he come across a person who is professor Babu Joseph, who has great status in the society. The meeting of these two people who stands at two different level makes an impact on the lives of both of them and there is also many self realizations happening in the life of both of them as well. This story is told in a very pleasant way all through this film named Pavada.
Anoop Menon plays the character of professor Babu Joseph. The female leads of the film is Miya George and Asha Sharath. Nedumudi Venu, Renji Panicker, Saikumar, Siddique, Maniyan Pilla Raju, Sunil Sugatha, Kunjan, TP Madhavan, Sasi Kalinga, etc also playing key characters in this film. The screenplay and dialogues is written by Bipin Chandran and DOP will be by Pradeep Nair.
Marthandan needs a success badly through this film as his last film Acha Din released in the Ramzan season this year did not do good at the box office and his first film was also not a super success which ended up only as an average grosser at box office.
