Priyadarshan’s new Malayalam film

Actor-writer Anoop Menon has put up a Facebook post announcing that he will team up with veteran filmmaker Priyadarshan.

Priyadarshan has been going through tough times -- he is going through a divorce from wife Lizy and his last Malayalam release, Aamayum Muyalum, did badly.

Incidentally, Anoop played an important role in the film, in which Jayasurya played the male lead.

‘Priyadarshan...we as a generation, were fed on his films...a master of the craft, the moments spent with him were replete with anecdotes and sheer movie magic...will be soon writing for the maverick...’ wrote Anoop.
