Prithviraj Sukumaran shares a still from Barroz sets

Superstar Mohanlal’s directorial debut ‘Barroz’ had gone on floors earlier this month and shoot is currently progressing at a brisk pace in Ernakulam. Prithviraj Sukumaran, who is playing an important role in the film, has shared a location still in his social media handle. Mohanlal is seen giving instructions to Prithviraj in the photo. The makers are yet to reveal any details about his character in the film.

‘Barroz’ scripted by ‘My Dear Kuttichathan’ director Jijo Punnoose is a 3D fantasy film set against the backdrop of the maritime history of Portugal, Spain, India and Africa. Mohanlal plays the titular role and a 13-year-old child artiste named Shayla McCaffrey essays the other lead. Rafael Amargo, Sara Vega, Cesar Lorente Raton, Don and Joshua are some of the foreign actors in the cast.

National award winners Santosh Sivan, Sreekar Prasad and Santhosh Raman are handling the camera, edits and production design respectively. Child prodigy Lydian Nadhaswaram is composing music for the film. Antony Perumbavoor’s Aashirvad Cinemas is producing this highly ambitious venture.
