Prithviraj’s Railway Guard planned as a KGF like pan-Indian film!
Recently, Prithviraj made a surprise announcement that he will be teaming up with director Deepu Karunakaran for a new film titled ‘Railway Guard’. Unni R is scripting the film, which has Prithviraj playing the role of a railway guard posted in North East India. As per the makers, it is a big budget film that is being planned to be made on a grand scale.
In a recent interview to TOI, director Deepu Karunakaran has said that their idea is to make a ‘KGF’ like Indian pan-Indian film. The makers are currently busy with research works. Simultaneously, location scouting is also progressing in the North Eastern states.
Earlier while announcing the film, Prithviraj had written a briefing which reads,
Thousands of kilometres of one of the world’s largest railroad network traverse through these often hostile terrains. There, at the end of a goods train that carry anything from coal to grains, he keeps watch alone. The scorching heat, the freezing cold, the darkest nights and the beat of the locomotive keep him company.
This is the seldom told story of a barely known hero. This is the story of…
THE RAILWAY GUARD.
A full-fledged story of a railway guard has not been attempted in Malayalam before. Naturally, it sounds like a very interesting film. It must be noted that Prithviraj and Deepu Karunakaran had earlier worked together in ‘Teja Bhai & Family’.
