Prithviraj
Sukumaran,
the
multi-faceted
talent
is
totally
busy
with
a
handful
of
promising
projects
in
the
pipeline.
The
actor's
long-awaited
project
Kaaliyan
is
finally
all
set
to
take
shape
after
a
long
delay.
On
July
21,
Prithviraj
Sukumaran
took
to
his
social
media
handles
and
welcomed
KGF
fame
musician
Ravi
Basrur,
to
the
Kaaliyan
crew.
"Welcome

@RaviBasrur
🤗🤗🤗," wrote
the
leading
man,
who
took
to
his
official
social
media
handles
and
shared
a
picture
with
Ravi
Basrur,
director
S
Mahesh,
and
producer
Rajeev
Govindan.
Thus,
the
period
drama
that
features
Prithviraj
Sukumaran
in
the
titular
role,
will
mark
the
KGF
music
director's
debut
in
Malayalam
cinema.
Earlier,
it
was
reported
that
Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy,
the
highly
celebrated
Bollywood
music
director
trio,
will
compose
the
songs
and
original
score
for
Kaaliyan.
But
according
to
sources
close
to
the
Prithviraj
Sukumaran-starrer,
the
musician
trio
backed
out
from
the
S
Mahesh
directorial
after
the
project
got
delayed
for
a
very
long
time.
Now,
Ravi
Basrur
has
replaced
them
as
the
music
composer
of
the
film.
As
reported
earlier,
Kaaliyan
is
a
fantasy
thriller
that
is
set
in
the
17th
century.
If
reports
are
to
be
believed,
the
movie
which
is
directed
by
S
Mahesh
depicts
the
story
of
the
fierce
warriors
of
Venad,
which
was
a
kingdom
of
ancient
Kerala.
Prithviraj
Sukumaran
is
appearing
in
the
role
of
a
gifted
and
loyal
warrior
who
is
on
a
dangerous
mission.
Earlier,
it
was
also
reported
that
Sathyaraj,
the
senior
Tamil
actor,
has
been
roped
in
to
play
a
pivotal
role
in
the
project.
However,
there
is
no
official
confirmation
on
the
same
yet.
The
team
is
yet
to
finalize
the
female
lead
and
the
rest
of
the
star
cast
of
Kaaliyan,
which
is
scripted
by
BT
Anilkumar.
The
auditions
for
the
supporting
cast
of
the
film
are
proceeding
in
full
swing.
