It was with much excitement we all heard the news in September that Malayalam actor Prithviraj would be be making his directorial debut with Mohanlal-starrer Lucifer.
The movie, scripted by actor-writer Murali Gopy, would be produced by Antony Perumbavoor's Aashirvad Cinemas, we heard then.
Now, a recent online report claimed that the movie was dropped. The film's producer Antony Perumbavoor wasted in no time in putting speculations to rest.
“I am writing this post as I came across a report on an online that Lucifer, a dream project of Aashirvad Cinemas, has been dropped. It's a blatant lie. Please don't fall prey to such rumors,” he wrote on his Facebook page.
Antony also said that the movie's shooting will begin in 2017 and that an official Facebook page of the film will be launched soon.
Now, that's some comforting news coming from the producer of this much-anticipated project.
