Lucifer is a vintage film of Mohanlal: Prithviraj

Prithviraj is rather optimistic about his first role as director, Lucifer, directed by the superstar Mohanlal. He pointed out that contrary to popular belief, the upcoming film was not designed by filmmaker Rajesh Pillai

"Rajesh Pillai had written a different film under the title Lucifer for Mohanlal. When I heard the story, I told Murali Gopy that the title Lucifer belonged to this project and we borrowed it, "said Prithviraj in a Facebook video, where he had discussed the film with Mohanlal

in layers with twists and turns "Lucifer's connotation is not obvious in this film, it was written in a distorted way," he added.

The trailer for the film was recently released, with an encouraging response. In a context of political upheaval, the trailer suggests that the film will plunge the public into the world of ruthless politics. However, the director said that Lucifer was more than a political drama.

"This is not an entirely political film. The situation as a whole is as follows: the reality in which we live is actually controlled by someone else. Several centers of power beyond our imagination control our reality. I think it's a film that will enlighten them, "he said.

Filmmakers said that all characters will have a gray spot on their morals. "This is not a film where it can be said that this one is the hero and that one the bad guy. All are gray characters, "said Prithviraj.

He even quoted the dialogue between Stephen Nedumpally, of Mohanlal, taken from the film:" This is not a struggle between good and evil. It is evil against evil. The question is the harm for which you choose to fight. He added: "We are allowed to believe that good exists and that there is evil. "

Prithviraj stated that he was aware of the superstardom enjoyed by Mohanlal among the people and he was aware of it when making this film." I am a fan of Lalettan. see Mohanlal play a character with shades of gray.I think it's a vintage film from Mohanlal, "he said.

Mohanlal appreciated Prithviraj's understanding of the project. "While making a film with a big star, a director must understand what he wants and give it to him. Prithviraj did a very good job, "he said.

" It's different from the films I've done so far. It is difficult to give a label as an anti-hero to my character. Thanks to Prithviraj, he made a very entertaining film. He was fully dedicated to the project from the moment he was convinced to the end. You will see the results of his efforts in the theaters, "added Mohanlal.

Noting that Lucifer was a character-driven movie, Prithviraj expressed gratitude for the cast of stars that made this movie possible." Even for a minor role, I approached established and busy actors, and none of them told me that it was a small role and that they could not do it. so eager to make an appearance because it was a Lalettan film and Raju (Prithviraj) was doing it. "

Prithviraj and Mohanlal were particularly pleased with Vivek Oberoi's work in the film," We can not neglect Lalettan's aura in a commercial film like this I did not know which actor would be a match as his antagonist Frankly, even when I interpreted Vivek's role, I had doubts. to his credit, he stood up to the legend of Mohanlal, "said Prithviraj.

Manju Warrier, Indrajith Sukumaran, Thomas Tovino, Nyla Usha, Bala and Sachin Khedekar also played an important role. It will appear on the screens on March 28th.
