According to emerging reports, Malayalam actor Prithviraj will again helm the role of an antagonist in Lokesh Kanakaraj’s next film with Rajinikanth. It is also reported that after the Rajinikanth film, Prithviraj will act as a protagonist in a film directed by Lokesh. The young director's latest flick ‘Leo’ with actor Vijay is quietly breaking all records in south India. However, the movie which came amidst much fanfare couldn't match the expectations and was just a half pie in content.

Meanwhile, Prithviraj is on a spree playing antagonist roles in other language movies. He is also playing the villain in the high-octane Prabhas movie ‘Salaar’.

Prithviraj is busy shooting Empuraan these days. Mohanlal, who is acting in the Pan-Indian film 'Vrishabha', will rejoin Empuraan the next day. The stars of Lucifer like Manju Warrier, Indrajith, Saniya Iyyappan, and others are lined up in Empuraan.

Written by Murali Gopi, the cinematography of Empuraan will be done by Sujith Vasudev. Filming will take place in India and foreign countries for nearly a year. The movie will be produced by Anthony Perumbavoor under the banner of Ashirvad Cinemas.
