With his social comedy starring Akshay Kumar deferred until 2023, National Award-winning filmmaker Priyadarshan has trained his attention to his next directorial venture, a yet-untitled Malayalam thriller starring a host of newcomers. Given that his last Malayalam outing, Marakkar: Lion of the Arabian Sea, with Mohanlal, earned him three National Awards in 2021, one would assume that Priyadarshan would join hands with the actor again for his next, but he clarifies, “This is one of those rare occasions when my thriller will not feature Mohanlal but young actors like Shane Nigam, and Arjun Ashokan, apart from a good supporting cast. This is the first time that I will produce a movie, and it is also my first stint as director of a thriller.”
