Alphonse Puthren’s next is on music
The director announced that he is likely to start the work soon, and that he won't be teaming up with Nivin Pauly this time

Director Alphonse Puthren, best known for the romantic-drama Premam, says his next untitled Malayalam film will be based on the subject of music.
"In two months, I hope to start my next film. I've been learning and preparing for it for the last two years. The film revolves around music. In order to talk about the ocean that is music, I must know what it is like. That is why I took a small break before starting the film," Alphonse wrote on his Facebook page.
Talking about the film, he confirmed that it will have elements of love and friendship. "But the story is not a love story like Premam, nor it is a serious comedy-thriller like Neram. I hope it will be a simple film with comedy and emotions," he added, confirming that he is not teaming up with actor Nivin Pauly this time. "I might do a nice film with Nivin again after a few films on my own," he said.
Ragesh Murugesan, who composed the music for Alphonse’s Premam, is expected to join him for the new venture too. The director has also said that his production venture, which is being directed by Mohsin Kassim, is progressing well. That film will have Siju Wilso, Sabareesh Varma, Krishna Sankar and Sharafudheen in the lead.
