Prithviraj's next has been titled Kaaliyan. A period drama, the film is said to be inspired by the ballads on Iravikuttipillai, a warrior of Venad.

Kaaliyan will also have Tamil actor Sathyaraj in a prominent role.  This will also be Sathyaraj's next after the super successful Baahubali series. Directed by S Mahesh, the film has been scripted by BT Anil Kumar. It also boasts of a steller crew, including Bollywood composers Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy.

It is also reported that the action scenes in the period drama will be choreographed by those who have worked on the hit TV series Game of Thrones. Sujith Vassudev will take care of the cinematography for the project produced under the banner of Magicmoon Productions.

Prithviraj, who is prepping to play the lead in Aadujeevitham, will take up the project only after a year.
