It’s been almost two years since Hombale Films announced a collaboration with Malayalam star Prithviraj Sukumaran, for a film that he would direct and act in called Tyson. Since then, there has been no update on this, and Prithviraj has been busy with his acting commitments, including Salaar: Ceasefire for Hombale Films. In fact, just before he began the promotional tour of his next release, Aadujeevitham, he was bang in the middle of directing his third film, L2: Empuraan, the sequel to his earlier Lucifer.

In Bengaluru recently for Aadujeevitham promotions Prithviraj was speaking about his ever-growing connection to the city, including how he is now the biggest distributor of Kannada cinema in Kerala and that he has already done a film with Hombale and rearing to start shooting for the next instalment – Salaar Shouryaangaparvam. Shooting for the second part of Prashant Neel’s Salaar saga is expected to begin shortly, before which Prithviraj is hoping to wind up Empuraan, which he says is a big film that has to be shot across locations in different countries.

After Empuraan, though, as and when Prithviraj returns to the director’s chair, he promises it will be Tyson, although he has not set a definitive timeline for it. Tyson, meanwhile, will be social thriller based on a script by Murali Gopi, which will the actor-scriptwriter’s third collaboration with Prithviraj.
