Prithviraj With Vidya Balan In Kamala Surayya Biopic

By Akhila Menon

Prithviraj is all set to share the screen with the super-talented Bollywood actress Vidya Balan, once again. Reportedly, Prithviraj is playing a pivotal role in Vidya Balan starrer Kamala Surayya Biopic.

The movie, which is said to be a Malayalam-Hindi bilingual, is directed by veteran film-maker Kamal. The yet to be titled project is expected to start rolling by the end of 2016.

Vidya Balan is playing the central character, Madhavikutty aka Kamala Surayya. She has earlier shared the screen with Prithviraj in his production debut Urumi, in which she made an extended cameo appearance.

Prithvi, on the other hand, has earlier associated with director Kamal for some exceptional films, including the JC Daniel biopic, Celluloid. He had won the Kerala State Film Award for Best Actor, for the movie.

The untitled biopic will explore the three stages of Kamala's life, including the marriage at the age of 15, the birth of her autobiography Ente Kadha, and her conversion to Islam at the age of 67.

Vidya Balan, who is a Malayali by birth, was actually supposed to make her Mollywood debut with Lohithadas's Mohanlal movie, Chakram. But the project was shelved at the initial stage itself.
