Ranam actor Giju John joins Lucifer

Another talented name has been added to the massive star cast of Prithviraj's directorial debut, Lucifer. The latest to join is Giju John, who made his Malayalam acting debut in Nirmal Sahadev's Ranam. Giju played the role of an American cop in that film.

Apparently, Giju will be having scenes with Mohanlal in Lucifer. Manju Warrier, Vivek Oberoi, Tovino Thomas, and Indrajith Sukumaran are already part of this big-scale production. The shoot of the film, with a script penned by Murali Gopy, is said to be progressing smoothly.

Lucifer is touted to be a political thriller reminiscent of some of the mass entertainers Mohanlal did in the past. Sujith Vassudev is handling the camera, Samjith Mohammed the editing, and Deepak Dev the music. Antony Perumbavoor is producing the film under the banner Aashirvad Cinemas. The film is expected to reach theatres by March.

Meanwhile, Mohanlal has announced a new project with director Siddique, titled Big Brother. His upcoming releases are Ranjith's Drama and Shrikumar Menon's Odiyan. Apart from these, he is also slated to appear in the latter's Randamoozham.
