Unni Mukundan’s ‘Chocolate’ a continuation of Prithviraj’s 2007 film?

Last day, the announcement of Unni Mukundan’s new project was made in social medias. The movie has been titled as ‘Chocolate’, and Binu Peter will be directing it. Santhosh Pavithram is producing the movie under the banner of Pavithram Creations. Interestingly, there was a Prithviraj starrer with the same title, which got released back in 2007. Sethu, who was one of the script writers of that film, is penning this upcoming movie as well. From the tagline ‘Story Retold’, we can confirm that it will not be a sequel or a continuation, but will be a movie on similar lines.

Unni Mukundan took to his social media handle to unveil the title poster. Along with that, he has also written,

It gives me immense happiness to announce our next project, ‘Chocolate – Story retold’. Really excited to be working with this fab team and eagerly looking forward to this one. Here is ‘Chocolate’, from us to you all.

Unni Mukundan meanwhile is busy with the shoot of ‘Mikhael’, in which he plays a prominent role. The movie directed by Haneef Adeni has Nivin Pauly in the lead role. It is said that Unni is playing the antagonist in the movie, but the makers are yet to confirm it. Last year, the actor won appreciation for his villain act opposite Mammootty in ‘Masterpiece’.
