Actor Sabumon Abdusamad is all set to don the director's hat for a new film. Sanju Unnithan will be producing the film under the banner of Spire Productions. The film falls under the category of courtroom drama and Sabumon has roped in his close friend and actress Prayaga Martin to play the protagonist.

“Being a lawyer, I always had this intuition that my first directorial would be something revolving around a courtroom. More details about the film will be out in the coming days.” Said Sabu.

Sabumon recently played a pivotal role in superstar Rajinikanth’s ‘Vettaiyan’, directed by TJ Gnanavel. On the same day of the movie’s release, Sabu courted controversy, after he accompanied actress Prayaga Martin to Ernakulam South police station, where she was questioned over her role in the Kochi DJ party and the related drug trade.
