Prithviraj’s Kaaliyan will also be an action-oriented movie!

Prithviraj’s upcoming epic movie Kaaliyan’s official announcement came recently but the expectation for the movie are already sky-high among the movie buffs. Debutant Mahesh S who is prepping up to helm the movie reveals that Kaaliyan will rather be an action-oriented movie although it is a period drama.

“Kaaliyan is a challenge this times of period flicks. We are preparing to face that challenge well,” he has been quoted saying. He also added that the project is still in its budding stage and the budget cannot be revealed yet. The movie has been scripted by B T Anil Kumar.The movie will mark Sathyaraj’s next historical project after the blockbuster Baahubali 2. We now hear that Shankar Ehsaan Loy will be composing music with the action team comprising members of the stunt team of The Game of Thrones TV series. 
The movie will only go on floors a year and a half later – after Prithviraj has finished Aadujeevitham and Lucifer. While the team is yet to announce the details of the movie, we hear it will be a movie based on Iravikutty Pillai and Kunchirakottu Kali. Prithviraj had earlier said that the movie will be about the unsung heroes and history of freedom struggle. A period drama, the movie is said to be inspired by the ballads on Iravikuttipillai, a warrior of Venad. 

Sujith Vassudev will crank the camera for the project produced under the banner of Magicmoon Productions. For years, ballads of North Malabar, popularly known as Vadakkan Pattukal, which are mostly about the battle exploits of individuals in feudal Kerala, have supplied blockbuster materials for the Malayalam filmmakers. It is a mission of a warrior who is made famous by ballads of Venad. More details about the movie and its cast will be out soon.
