Rohit Shetty and team head off to Goa to begin prep for Sooryavanshi

After delivering one of the highest grossers of 2018, in the form of Simmba, hit filmmaker Rohit Shetty has now commenced work on his next directorial venture Sooryavanshi, starring Akshay Kumar in the lead role.

Today, Shetty and his team flew off to Goa to begin the prep for the cop drama. The filmmaker and his crew are working on the scripting of the movie.


Rohit shared a picture along with his team on his social media page and captioned it as, "Mission SOORYAVANSHI En route Goa." The director and his team looked ecstatic as they flew to Goa.

Sooryavanshi stars Akshay Kumar as an Anti-Terrorist Squad chief named Veer Sooryavanshi.

The makers are presently looking for the female lead opposite Kumar. Though several names have been thrown around in the last few days, including Pooja Hegde, Katrina Kaif and Sonam Kapoor, the makers are yet to lock the actress for the role.

Sooryavanshi is scheduled to buzz into cinemas in December.

'Khalifa' review: Stylish Prithviraj and powerful Mohanlal moment can’t fix a predictable saga

Highlights

  • Prithviraj Sukumaran brings plenty of style and screen presence to the gold-smuggling thriller.
  • Mohanlal’s appearance provides one of the film’s strongest moments.
  • Despite its lavish treatment and action set pieces, the story follows a familiar and predictable path.

Khalifa arrives with the kind of ingredients that usually make a Malayalam mass entertainer hard to resist: Prithviraj Sukumaran in a larger-than-life role, Vysakh behind the camera, a gold-smuggling backdrop and the added pull of Mohanlal. Yet, for all its scale and star power, the film struggles to deliver the one thing this genre needs most: a sense of surprise.

The film follows Mambarakal Aamir Ali, played by Prithviraj, as he becomes entangled in his family's long-running gold-smuggling legacy. His grandfather Mambarakkal Ahmed Ali was himself a notorious smuggler, setting up a story built around family, crime and power.
