Vimaanam is a film that I really love: Prithviraj

We had recently reported that Prithviraj’s upcoming movie Vimaanam directed by newcomer Pradeep M Nair has finally started rolling. The actor is playing the role of a deaf and mute person who builds a light weight aircraft on his own.

The movie was in the news after it’s makers filed a case against Vineeth Sreenivasan’s Aby as both the movies deal with similar stories. The case was recently judged in favour of Aby’s team.

However, Prithviraj is unfazed by all that. He is not bothered about the legal issues that’s happening surrounding the movie. The actor in a recent interview said that he really loves the movie and is not.

He said that he will go ahead with the movie as long as all the people associated with Vimaanam has complete conviction in the film regardless of another film being made on a similar premise.

Vimaanam is inspired from the real life of Saji Thomas, a hearing and speech impaired person, who built a light weight aircraft on his own. But the movie is not a biography on Saji Thomas’ life. It will have an endearing romantic track also.

The movie will have two time periods with Prithviraj appearing in two different looks. He will be shedding a few kilos along with taking flying courses to play his part in the movie.

Vimaanam is being planned on a big canvas involving a lot of VFX works for the flying scenes. Listin Stephen is producing the movie.

Nedumudi Venu, Sudheer Karamana, Shanthi Krishna and many other prominent supporting actors are also part of the cast.

Shoot will majorly happen in Batkal in Mangalore. Ernakulam and Delhi are the other locations
