Prithviraj opens up about Kaaviya Thalaivan

Prithviraj was last seen in Mani Ratnam’s Raavanan confronting Vikram. It’s been four years and the actor will be back on the big screen with Vasantha Balan’s directorial Kaaviya Thalaivan where he shares screen space with Siddharth, Vedhika and Anaicka Soti. No script has interested him to do a film in Tamil in the past four years. “But when director Vasantha Balan came to Kochi and narrated the story of Kaaviya Thalaivan to me for over four hours, I said yes without hesitation,” says Prithviraj to a daily.

“Siddarth and I play the lead characters in the movie that is set against the backdrop of theatre at a time when major troupes were still finding their feet. A.R. Rahman’s music for the film is an absolute winner. There are six songs in the film but some 15 numbers weave in and out of the narrative,” reveals Prithviraj. The audio launch for the film is scheduled on July 31st according to reliable sources.
