Ace director Ranjith, who recently commenced the shooting for his next film Indian Rupee starring Prithviraj, said this film is a prequel to his much acclaimed Pranchiyettan and the Saint, starring Mammootty in the lead.
“While Pranchiyettan was a rich man chasing fame and honour, the hero of Indian Rupee considers money as everything in his life. In that sense, the film is a prequel to Pranchiyettan,” the director said.
Jointly produced by Prithviraj’s August Cinema and Ranjith’s Capitol Theatre, Indian Rupee also stars Suresh Gopi, Jagathy, Lalu Alex, Thilakan and Salim Kumar in key roles. Reema Kallingal is the heroine. Cinematography is by S. Kumar and music by newcomer Shahbaz Aman.
