In a recent Clubhouse interaction, cinematographer-filmmaker Santosh Sivan made a startling revelation. He revealed that he will be next directing a Netflix film scripted by the legendary MT Vasudevan Nair. According to Santosh Sivan, it is a challenging project as it is not a regular film but one with an abstract concept. Veteran Siddique will be playing the lead role in the film, which is about a man waiting for death.

Meanwhile, Santosh Sivan’s directorial project ‘Jack and Jill’ continues to be under the wraps. Starring Manju Warrier, Kalidas Jayaram and Soubin Shahir as the leads, it is a multi-genre film that has Artificial Intelligence as an integral part. It is expected to release soon after the pandemic situation gets better.
Santosh Sivan is currently working as the cinematographer of superstar Mohanlal’s directorial debut ‘Barroz’. It is a big-scale fantasy film made entirely in 3D format. Mohanlal, Prithviraj Sukumaran and a bunch of foreign actors star in it
