Prithviraj
Sukumaran,
the
actor-filmmaker
was
roped
in
to
play
a
pivotal
role
in
Mohanlal's
directorial
debut
Barroz.
The
stills
of
Prithviraj
which
were
taken
from
the
sets
of
Mohanlal's
directorial
debut
had
gone
viral
on
the
internet.
However,
the
latest
reports
suggest
that
the
multi-faceted
talent
has
opted
out
of
Barroz.
Yes,
you
read
it
right.
According
to
the
sources
close
to
the
Mohanlal
directorial,
Prithviraj
Sukumaran
decided
to
quit
the
project
due
to
his
busy
schedule.
As
reported
earlier,
Mohanlal
and
his
team
had
to
completely
discard
the
portions
that
were
shot
initially,
due
to
the
unavailability
of
foreign
artists
and
continuity
issues.
The
team
is
now
re-shooting
Barroz,
and
Prithviraj
Sukumaran
was
unable
to
accommodate
his
dates
for
the
film
once
again.
The
actor-filmmaker
is
currently
busy
with
the
final
schedule
shooting
of
Kaduva,
the
upcoming
Shaji
Kailas
directorial.
After
finishing
the
shooting
of
Kaduva,
Prithviraj
is
expected
to
take
a
break
from
acting
for
the
preparations
of
his
highly
anticipated
project,
Aadujeevitham.
Reportedly,
Mohanlal
and
his
team
accepted
Prithviraj
Sukumaran's
decision
to
quit
the
project
graciously,
and
are
already
in
search
of
his
replacement.
The
rumourmills
suggest
that
the
makers
are
planning
to
cast
an
equally
popular
star
in
the
role,
which
is
said
to
be
a
very
important
one.
Prithviraj
Sukumaran,
on
the
other
hand,
will
take
a
break
from
acting
in
January
2022,
for
the
next
three
months.
The
actor
will
have
to
lose
all
the
weight
he
gained
for
Kaduva,
to
play
the
central
character
of
Blessy's
Aadujeevitham
once
again.
The
next
schedule
shooting
of
the
movie
is
expected
to
begin
in
March
2022,
abroad.
Coming
back
to
Barroz,
Mohanlal
and
his
team
have
roped
in
Guru
Somasundaram,
the
Minnal
Murali
villain,
to
play
a
pivotal
role.
As
per
the
reports,
some
new
actors
had
replaced
some
of
the
faces
from
the
original
star
cast.
The
shooting
of
the
project,
which
is
bankrolled
by
Antony
Perumbavoor
under
the
banner
Aashirvad
Cinemas,
is
currently
under
progress.
