Prithviraj Sukumaran to back 3 new Mohanlal films?

When Mohanlal and Prithviraj Sukumaran star together, it's always a treat for audiences. Movies like Bro Daddy and Lucifer, which featured Mohanlal and were helmed by Prithviraj, were hits. While fans are eagerly awaiting their new project, Empuraan, the latest buzz is that the duo is collaborating on three more films. But this time, the roles are slightly different.

According to reports, Prithviraj Productions is set to back three upcoming Mohanlal films. According to the grapevine, the movies will be directed by Dijo Jose Antony, Nirmal Sahadev, and Nissam Basheer.

Prithviraj Productions, which debuted with the film Nine, has produced films like Kaduva, Jana Gana Mana, and Gold. The production company has also distributed the top grossers like KGF: Chapter 2, Petta, and Kantara in Kerala.

Empuraan, the sequel to Lucifer, is directed by Prithviraj and stars Mohanlal. The shooting of the film is set to begin in August, with the crew already identifying suitable locations. Along with Mohanlal, Manju Warrier and Tovino Thomas will also reprise their roles from Lucifer.

Scripted by Murali Gopi and backed by Aashirvad Cinemas, Empuraan will be shot in six other countries apart from India.

Mohanlal's next release is Rajinikanth’s Tamil film Jailer. Helmed by Nelson, Mohanlal's look in the film has already gone viral. Jailer is slated to hit theatres on August 10.

Other films in Mohanlal's kitty include Ram, which was announced in 2020. He also has Aashirvad Cinemas' 33rd production, which is being helmed by Jeethu Joseph.

Mohanlal’s directorial debut, Barroz, is also in the pipeline. Mohanlal plays a 300-year-old guardian ghost in the 3D film who is entrusted with protecting Vasco da Gama’s treasure. He also has the Telugu film Vrushabha, which also stars Shanaya Kapoor and Zahrah S Khan.

Recently, Prithviraj was injured while shooting for the film Vilayath Buddha. He injured his leg and was rushed to a private hospital in Kochi. The star had to undergo surgery and is currently undergoing treatment, which includes physiotherapy.
