Mohanlal
is
all
set
to
play
the
title
character
Puli
Murugan,
in
the
upcoming
movie
Puli
Murugan,
directed
by
Vysakh.
The
project
will
go
on
floors
immediately
after
the
filming
of
Vysakh's
Mammootty
starrer
project.
Scenarists
duo
Udaya
Krishna-
Sibi
K
Thomas
are
working
on
the
script
of
the
movie,
which
is
produced
by
Tomichan
Mulakupaadam,
under
the
banner
Mulakupaadam
Films.
Mohanlal
was
supposed
to
join
Madhupal's
next
directorial
venture,
after
completing
Sathyan
Anthikad's
upcoming
movie;
but
reportedly,
the
project
will
get
delayed
as
the
scripting
has
not
been
completed
yet.
The
actor
will
start
filming
for
Vysakh's
project
instead.
Vysakh,
who
made
his
directorial
debut
with
the
mass
entertainer
Pokkiri
Raja,
with
Mammootty
and
Prithviraj
in
leads,
tasted
success
with
his
consecutive
ventures
Seniors,
Mallu
Singh
and
Sound
Thoma.
He
changed
his
track
with
the
latest
release
Visudhan,
which
had
a
serious
plot
unlike
his
earlier
movies.
Visudhan
was
a
critical
success;
but
failed
to
do
well
in
the
box
office.
Vysakh
is
currently
busy
with
the
filming
of
his
upcoming
project
Cousins,
starring
Kunchako
Boban,
Indrajith,
Vedhika
and
Nisha
Agarwal
in
lead
roles.
The
movie
will
also
have
Suraj
Venjarammodu,
Joju
George,
Nedumudi
Venu,
Pradeep
Rawat
and
Sreedevi
Unni
in
pivotal
roles.
Cousins
is
expected
to
hit
the
theatres
for
Christmas.
