Prithviraj,
the
talented
young
actor
officially
announced
his
second
association
with
writer-director
RS
Vimal,
during
early
2016.
The
project,
which
was
said
to
be
a
mega-budget
venture,
was
titled
as
Karnan.
The
movie
was
supposed
to
feature
Prithviraj
as
the
epic
character,
Karnan.
But,
if
the
recent
rumours
are
to
be
believed,
the
highly
anticipated
project
has
been
shelved.
The
rumours
started
doing
rounds
after
Kavya
Films,
the
production
banner
Karnan,
announced
its
association
with
the
upcoming
Mammootty
project
Maamaankam.
Some
unconfirmed
reports
suggest
Kavya
Films
decided
to
move
on
and
commit
the
Mammootty
project,
as
Karnan
is
heading
nowhere.
The
Prithviraj
starrer
has
been
under
the
pre-production
stage
from
the
last
year,
and
there
are
absolutely
no
further
updates
about
the
project.
In
2016,
director
RS
Vimal
had
revealed
that
the
team
is
planning
to
begin
the
shooting
of
the
project
in
August
2017.
It
was
also
reported
that
the
sets
of
the
movie
are
under
construction
in
Ramoji
Film
City,
Hyderabad.
But,
the
project
totally
drifted
away
from
the
limelight
after
a
few
months.
Lead
actor
Prithviraj,
on
the
other
hand,
is
now
on
a
signing
spree
and
has
some
highly
promising
projects
in
his
kitty.
The
actor
also
announced
his
directorial
debut
Lucifer,
which
is
expected
to
go
on
floors
in
May
2018.
Well,
all
these
developments
clearly
hint
that
Prithviraj,
RS
Vimal,
and
team
have
no
plans
to
kickstart
the
epic
drama
in
the
near
future.
We
really
hope
that
Karnan
team
will
soon
release
an
official
statement
and
put
an
end
to
the
rumours.
