Prithviraj has started shooting for Shaji Kailas' next, Kaduva, at Mundakkayam. Samyuktha Menon plays the female lead in the film. Bollywood star Vivek Oberoi is also reportedly part of the cast as the antagonist.
Vivek had earlier made his Malayalam debut in Prithviraj's directorial debut Lucifer, and won rave reviews for the same.
As per reports, Shaji's frequent collaborators Sai Kumar, Siddique, and Vijayaraghavan are also part of the cast of Kaduva. Touted as a mass action entertainer, the film sees Shaji Kailas reuniting with Prithviraj again after 2012's Simhasanam.
