Prithviraj is the biggest Shaji Kailas fan I’ve ever seen: ‘Kaduva’ scriptwriter Jinu Abraham

Prithviraj Sukumaran is celebrating his birthday today and as a special treat for his fans, a huge announcement was made about his new project. He is teaming up with veteran Shaji Kailas for a mass entertainer titled ‘Kaduva’. The actor’s own banner Prithviraj Productions is producing the film jointly with Magic Frames.

‘Kaduva’, as per the makers, is inspired from a real life story. It is scripted by Jinu Abraham, who has earlier penned ‘Masters’ and ‘London Bridge’ and also directed ‘Adam Joan’, all three of which also had Prithviraj in the lead. ‘Kaduva’ marks his his fourth time collaboration with the star.

According to Jinu, ‘Kaduva’ is a mass action flick set in the 90s. After completing the script, it was Prithviraj who suggested that this film can only be directed by someone like Shaji Kailas. Jinu declares Prithviraj as the biggest Shaji Kailas fan he has ever seen. The director is synonymous with the word mass as he has helmed several celebrated blockbusters like ‘Commissoner’, ‘The King’, ‘Narasimham’ etc.

So when Prithviraj and Jinu approached Shaji Kailas with the project the director was also waiting for the right script. He was impressed with the script of ‘Kaduva’ and that’s how the project materialized. We learn that is a big project that will have another popular star from South Indian cinema in an important role.

On the technical front, the makers have signed cinematographer Ravi K Chandran, art director Mohandas and editor Shameer Muhammed. The film also marks the entry of popular South Indian composer S Thaman to Malayalam film industry. If things go as per plans, shoot will be commencing by March, next year.
