"Teja Bhai and Family", a comedy thriller from Prithvi

Young superstar Prithviraj has been signed in the lead role of a Malayalam movie titled as 'Teja Bhai and Family'. With this movie, he will enter a new genre- comedy thriller, which is his first full length role in this genre. Deepu Karunakaran of 'Crazy Goplan' fame will be directing and scripting this movie. 'Teja Bhai and Family' will be produced by P K Muralidharan and Santha Murali of Anantha Vision. Prithviraj is in all praise for the script of the movie and he termed it as 'the best'. The superstar of Mollywood is expected to gain more fan following after the release of this movie, as the audience has never seen him in a film of this genre. The actor started his journey in Mollywood in 2002 with the movie 'Nandanam' and since then he has worked in more than 50 movies. He has acted in variety of roles but never got the opportunity to try his talent in this genre. So, 'Teja Bhai and Family' is definitely a challenge for the actor. The film is likely to start shooting in January 2011.
