Prithviraj Sukumaran’s Malayalam film Kaapa goes on floors

Prithviraj Sukumaran’s Malayalam film Kaapa, which is being directed by Shaji Kailas, has gone on the floors.

The actor shared a short video online which sees him preparing for an action sequence, under his director’s guidance.

The action-packed thriller also stars Asif Ali, Aparna Balamurali and Anna Ben. The Malayalam film is backed by Yoodlee Films, Theatre of Dreams and Film Employees Federation of Kerala (FEFKA) Writers Union, which is a first for the organization.
 
In a statement, Prithiviraj stated, “Kaapa is going to be one of the best in its genre and I am glad Yoodlee is coming up with such great projects and have ventured into the Malayalam industry. This is a great time when talent and producers from various parts of the country are coming together to make good cinema that is loved by the entire country. I am really excited about Kaapa and we have started with a bang. Shaji sir and I are back together again and we are sure of giving our fans whistle-worthy cinema.”

Shaji added, “I am so excited to collaborate with Prithviraj again. I believe that we make a great combo together and can bring something best to the screens. Kaapa is an action-packed entertainer and I’ll make sure that we do justice to the script and light the screen up.”

Siddharth Anand Kumar, vice president of films and events at Saregama India, said, “With Kaapa we are excited to get into the action thriller genre. Prithviraj and Shaji do not need any introduction and this film is going to push the mass narrative envelope even further. We have the privilege of working with some of the finest actors, directors and technicians in the Malayalam film industry and we are sure of packing a punch.”

Yoodlee Films is also working on a web-series with Prithviraj.

Kaapa has been written by GR Indugopan and shot by Jomon T John. The film is co-produced by Jinu V Abraham and Dolwin Kuriakose of Theatre of Dreams.
