Prithviraj
Sukumaran,
the
multi-faceted
talent
of
Malayalam
cinema
is
currently
busy
with
a
handful
of
promising
projects
in
the
pipeline.
As
per
the
latest
reports,
it
has
been
confirmed
that
Prithviraj
will
soon
join
hands
with
the

cinematographer-filmmaker
Santhosh
Sivan
for
a
period
film.
The
highly
exciting
update
was
revealed
by
Santhosh
himself
in
a
recent
interview.
According
to
the
celebrated
cinematographer,
Kerala
history
has
some
very
interesting
stories
and
characters.
He
wants
to
explore
one
such
story,
which
has
a
lot
of
potentials.
Santhosh
Sivan
has
zeroed
in
on
one
such
story
for
his
next
directorial
-
a
Malayalam
period
film
and
is
planning
to
cast
Prithviraj
Sukumaran
in
the
lead
role.
The
filmmaker
confirmed
that
he
is
planning
to
discuss
the
idea
with
Prithviraj
Sukumaran,
once
he
returns
from
Jordan.
Santhosh
Sivan

years
to
make,
like

Well,
we
are
already
excited
about
the
actor-director
duo's
reunion,
and
hoping
that
the
official
announcement
will
be
out
soon.
Santhosh
Sivan
had
earlier
directed
Prithviraj
Sukumaran
in
the
fantasy
thriller
Anandabhadram
and
period
drama
Urumi.
Both
the
films
received
immense
love
from
both
the
audiences
and
critics.
Especially
Urumi,
which
marked
Prithviraj
Sukumaran's
debut
as
a
producer,
has
been
considered
one
of
the
finest
period
films
ever
produced
by
Malayalam
cinema,
and
earned
cult
status
over
years.
Coming
to
Prithviraj's
career,
the
actor
is
currently
on
a
high
with
the
massive
success
of
his
latest
outing
Jana
Gana
Mana.
He
is
in
Jordan
now
for
the
final
schedule
shooting
of
his
ambitious
project
Aadujeevitham.
After
returning
in
June,
Prithviraj
is
expected
to
join
the
sets
of
Salaar,
the
upcoming
Prabhas-Prashanth
Neel
film.
Empuraan,
Theerppu,
Kaapa,
Vilayath
Buddha,
and
so
on
are
the
other
major
films
in
the
actor-filmmaker's
kitty.
