Prithviraj
Sukumaran
announced
his
fourth
directorial
venture,
the
pan-Indian
project
Tyson,
on
Friday
(June
10,
2022).
The
movie,
which
is
bankrolled
by
the
KGF
makers
Hombale
Films,
will
have
the
actor-filmmaker
himself
playing
the
lead
role.
The
sources
close
to
Tyson
have
now
revealed
a
major
update
on
Prithviraj
Sukumaran's
role
in
the
movie.
If
the
reports
are
to
be
believed,
the
actor-filmmaker
is
playing
the
role
of
an
IAS
officer
for
the
first
time
in
his
career,
in
the
multi-lingual.
The
reports
suggest
that
Prithviraj
Sukumaran's
character
in
Tyson,
which
is
an
out-and-out
action
film,
is
a
firebrand
officer.
The
multi-faceted
talent
is
expected
to
perform
some
high-voltage
action
sequences
in
the
film,
which
is
scripted
by
Murali
Gopy.
To
the
unversed,
Tyson
was
initially
planned
as
a
Malayalam
film
and
was
supposed
to
be
directed
by
the
Kammara
Sambhavam
fame
director
Ratish
Ambat.
But
the
project
was
later
dropped
due
to
budget
issues,
as
it
demanded
a
large
canvas.
Now,
with
Hombale
Films
backing
the
project,
Prithviraj
Sukumaran
has
taken
over
as
the
director,
and
the
film
is
being
made
as
a
multi-lingual
that
will
be
simultaneously
released
in
Malayalam,
Kannada,
Tamil,
Telugu,
and
Hindi.
Even
though
nothing
much
has
been
revealed
about
the
star
cast
of
Tyson,
the
sources
suggest
that
some
of
the
most
celebrated
talents
of
Malayalam
cinema
are
finalised
to
play
pivotal
roles.
The
Prithviraj
Sukumaran
directorial
will
also
have
some
popular
names
from
the
Kannada,
Tamil,
and
Hindi
film
industries
in
pivotal
roles.
A
major
update
regarding
the
star
cast
and
technical
crew
of
the
project
is
expected
to
be
out
in
a
couple
of
weeks.
However,
it
has
been
confirmed
that
director
Prithviraj
Sukumaran
will
kickstart
the
film
only
after
the
release
of
Empuraan,
his
third
directorial
venture
which
is
a
sequel
to
the
Mohanlal-starring
blockbuster
Lucifer.
In
that
case,
Tyson
will
start
rolling
only
by
the
end
of
2023
or
the
beginning
of
2024.
