The Malayalam star has been roped in to play the main antagonist named Kabir. “I am really looking forward to working with the supremely talented Prithviraj.

Besides writing and directing, Ali Abbas Zafar is also co-producing it with Vashu Bhagnani, Deepshikha Deshmukh, Jackky Bhagnani, and Himanshu Kishan Mehra. The film is expected to arrive in cinemas in 2023.
Prithviraj has shown his interest to take up negative roles. He has also essayed the antagonistic role in Prabhas’s upcoming movie, Salaar.
Prithviraj was last seen in filmmaker Alphonse Puthren’s Malayalam movie Gold. The film was released last week to poor reviews. Besides playing the lead, the actor has also co-produced the movie. He has already finished shooting for director Blessy’s ambitious movie, Aadujeevitham. Other projects of Prithviraj include Khalifa, Vilayath Buddha and Kaaliyan. He will soon return to directing with Mohanlal’s L2: Empuraan, which is the sequel to the 2019 blockbuster Lucifer.
