Prithviraj,
the
actor-director
is
unarguably
one
of
the
most
sought-after
stars
of
the
Malayalam
movie
industry.
Fans
and
cinemagoers
have
always
compared
the
talented
actor
with
the
superstars
of
the
industry,
especially
Mammootty.
Prithviraj
has
always
reminded
of
Mammootty
with
the
way
he
carries
himself
off-screen
and
with
his
film
choices.
However,
the
Lucifer
director
is
now
all
set
to
follow
in
Mammootty's
footsteps
in
his
career.
Interestingly,
Prithviraj
is
planning
to
launch
a
bunch
of
new
filmmakers,
much
like
the
megastar.
In
a
recent
interview
given
to
a
popular
online
media,
the
Driving
License
actor
revealed
that
he
is
planning
to
launch
all
of
his
assistants
who
associated
with
him
in
Lucifer.
Prithviraj
also
revealed
that
he
has
already
signed
the
debut
ventures
of
his
assistant
directors,
Jayan
Nambiar
and
Irshad
Parari.
The
actor
is
teaming
up
with
Jayan
Nambiar
for
the
upcoming
untitled
project,
which
is
scripted
by
writer-director
Sachy.
The
directorial
debut
of
Irshad
Parari
which
has
been
titled
Ayalvashi,
will
feature
Prithviraj
and
Indrajith
in
the
lead
roles.
The
actor
will
also
play
the
central
character
in
the
directorial
debut
of
Vava
Kottarakkara,
who
was
his
first
assistant
director
in
Lucifer.
Prithviraj
has
revealed
that
he
is
planning
to
produce
all
these
projects
under
his
home
banner,
Prithviraj
Productions.
The
actor-director
is
also
planning
to
launch
the
rest
of
his
directorial
assistants
as
well
and
has
asked
them
to
prepare
their
debut
scripts.
Mammootty,
on
the
other
hand,
has
launched
some
of
the
most
celebrated
filmmakers
of
contemporary
Malayalam
cinema
including
AK
Lohithadas,
Lal
Jose,
Anwar
Rasheed,
Aashiq
Abu,
Amal
Neerad,
Vysakh,
Martin
Prakkat,
Tamil
filmmaker
N
Linguswamy
and
others.
The
audiences
and
film
lovers
are
totally
moved
by
Prithviraj's
great
decision
to
give
a
launchpad
to
all
his
direction
assistants
and
have
been
heaping
praises
on
the
actor
for
his
lovely
gesture.
