Mohanlal to star in Prithviraj Sukumaran’s next directorial Bro Daddy

Actor Prithviraj Sukumaran made his directorial debut with the 2019 release Lucifer which starred Mohanlal in the lead role. A couple of days ago, Prithviraj had tweeted about going behind the camera once again, and recently, he announced his next directorial titled Bro Daddy.

Bro Daddy will feature Mohanlal in the lead role, and apart from directing the film, Prithviraj will portray a pivotal role in the movie.


He took to Twitter to make an announcement about the film. He tweeted, “My 2nd directorial. #BRODADDY will once again be headlined by The Lalettan @Mohanlal , with an ensemble cast including yours truly. Produced by #AntonyPerumbavoor (#AashirvadCinemas), a fun family drama that makes you smile, laugh & want to revisit. Rolling soon. Very soon.”

Well, Prithviraj’s second directorial was supposed to be the sequel to Lucifer which has been titled L2: Empuraan. However, due to the pandemic, the shooting of the film was postponed, and now, it looks like Prithviraj will first complete Bro Daddy and later start the work on L2: Empuraan.

Talking about Prithviraj’s films as an actor, he will be seen in movies like Kuruthi, Star, Jana Gana Mana, Cold Case, Bhramam, Aadujeevitham, and Barroz: Guardian of D'Gama's Treasure. Cold Case is slated to release on Amazon Prime Video on 30th June 2021.

Meanwhile, Mohanlal has Marakkar: Arabikadalinte Simham, Aaraattu, Ram, and Barroz: Guardian of D'Gama's Treasure lined up. Marakkar: Arabikadalinte Simham is slated to release on 12th August 2021.

Yash says Ravana in Ramayana must connect with Western viewers as film eyes global audience

Highlights

  • Yash says he humanised Ravana to help global audiences relate to the character.
  • Asura designs in the first glimpse drew criticism for looking too Western-inspired.
  • Producer Namit Malhotra compares the film's tone to Lord of the Rings and Gladiator.
Yash, who plays the demon king Ravana in Nitesh Tiwari's Ramayana, says his portrayal was shaped by one clear goal: making the character relatable beyond Indian audiences.
Speaking at CinemaCon in Las Vegas this week, where the film was presented alongside major Hollywood releases, the actor said he worked to strip away the purely mythological reading of the role.

"I have tried to internalise the whole essence of Ravana and tried to make him as human as possible at times," Yash told Reuters.

"It is important for people to relate to him, and since we have global ambitions, we need to make it familiar to a Western audience as well."
