Prithviraj in talks with Dileesh Pothan and Syam Pushkaran for a big-scale project!

Prithviraj Sukumaran has one of the most enviable line up of projects as a lead actor in Malayalam today. In a recent interview with Film Companion, he revealed that he is also in talks for some other exciting projects, one of which is a pan-Indian film. He also added that the hit combo of Dileesh Pothan and Syam Pushkaran have approached him with a big scale film, which he said might eventually happen.

Prithviraj though sounded a bit disheartened as he wanted to do something small and rooted-to-reality like Pothan and Pushkaran’s previous films. The actor even wondered why he is offered such big films and why they aren’t approaching him with scripts like ‘Joji’.

As of now it remains to be seen when the Pothan-Pushkaran-Prithviraj film materializes as the star has a long list of projects lined up. He already has films like ‘Theerppu’, ‘Jana Gana Mana’, ‘Kaduva’ and ‘Aadujeevitham’ in different stages of production. ‘Neelavelicham’ and ‘Vilayath Buddha’ are some of his other announced projects. He is also set to direct a multi-starrer titled ‘Bro Daddy’ soon and after that he has the much-anticipated ‘Empuraan’ coming up.

Prithviraj reveals about being part of a pan-Indian film

Prithviraj is one of the few male actors from Malayalam cinema to have tried their luck in other languages. Having done a handful of films in Tamil and Hindi, he is pretty popular among the non-Malayali audience. However, it has been a while since Prithviraj has acted in a film outside Malayalam. His last such outing was the Taapsee Pannu starrer ‘Naam Shabana’, that got released in 2017.

Last day, during an interaction session with his followers in Instagram, one of them asked Prithviraj about when he will be doing a Tamil film next. The star then revealed that he will soon be starring in a pan-Indian film, which will be released in not just Tamil but in all major languages. He added that more details will be out during the project’s official announcement.

This big revelation by Prithviraj has lead to various speculations among fans regarding the project. While some believe it will be ‘Randamoozham’, some are hopeful of seeing the actor in Mani Ratnam’s upcoming biggie ‘Ponniyin Selvan’, which already has a plethora of stars.
