Mohanlal and Jeethu Joseph will join hands once again for their upcoming movie. The untitled flick will be directed by Antony Perumbavoor under his banner Aashirvad Cinemas.
Speculations were rife that the film would be Drishyam 3. However, the makers clarified that this is a completely different project. The shooting of the movie will commence in August.
Mohanlal and Jeethu Joseph are currently shooting for Ram. But the film got delayed due to the Covid-19 restrictions. The movie features Mohanlal as a globe-trotting investigative officer.
Vijay Sethupathi’s 50th film directed by Nithilan Swaminathan is titled Maharaja. The filmmaker debuted with Kurangu Bommai (2017) which received critical appreciation.
The cast of Maharaja includes Anurag Kashyap, Mamta Mohandas, and Natty Natraj. Kantara-fame Ajaneesh Loknath is the music director, Dinesh Purushothaman is the cinematographer.
The first-look poster of Maharaja was launched recently. It features a chess piece — the King. The King casts a shadow which portrays the abstract faces of the lead actors.
