Currently writing his memoir, Priyadarshan plans to coincide its release with his 100th movie that will reunite him with his first hero, Mohanlal. The Malayalam actor had fronted his directorial debut, Poochakkoru Mookkuthi (1984), and will lead the director’s 100th outing too

We suspect Priyadarshan has 30 hours in a day. In 2025, the filmmaker wrapped up two movies, Bhooth Bangla and Haiwaan. Now, he has revealed to mid-day that he also squeezed in the time to write his autobiography. The filmmaker plans to release his memoir in 2027, coinciding with a career landmark. “I am writing, shooting, and writing again. I have completed my 97th movie, Haiwaan, starring Saif Ali Khan and Akshay Kumar. The 98th will be with Pankaj Tripathi, Annu Kapoor, and Saurabh Shukla. I want to complete my memoir by 2027 as I should wrap up my 100th film by then,” he told us over a call.

The recently shot ‘Haiwaan’ with Akshay Kumar and Saif Ali Khan marks the director’s 97th movie
