'Karnan' will be one of the most expensive Malayalam movies, says actor Prithviraj

Prithviraj Sukumaran prefers to let his work speak for itself rather than give interviews. Now the actor is all set to play Karnan from the Mahabharata in a movie to be directed by RS Vimal. In an interview with Malayala Manorama, the actor has revealed that Karnan will be one of the most expensive Malayalam movies made. He added that Vimal has just started work on the script and since it's a big budget film, a lot of planning is going into the writing and execution of the film. RS Vimal directed the hit film Ennu Ninte Moideen where Prithviraj played the role of Moideen who is in love with Kanchanamala. 

Prithviraj has also stated that Karnan's inner struggles will also be looked at and shown on screen in a different manner. The actor added that he had no regrets about any of the films he has worked on so far and that just because a movie fails, it doesn't mean it's a bad movie. "It is but natural for cinema to succeed or fail at the box office. It's the audience's choice," stated the actor in the interview.

The actor has also revealed that he is not active on social media. A team handles his official Facebook page and while he has Twitter account, he does not use it at all. He says he spends his time only on cinema and his family. Prithviraj said he hopes to turn director soon, but it will not be in 2016.
