Genelia as Portugese princess in Urumi
Santosh Sivan, the man behind the visual excellence of Mani Ratnam's magnum opus Raavanan/ Raavan is all set to start his next project, this time as a director.
This Malayalam-Tamil bilingual, a period drama tentatively titled Urumi (a flexible sword), will star Prithviraj and the hot and happening Genelia in the lead roles. Reportedly Urumi is about a group of men who wanted to assassinate Vasco Da Gama, the Portuguese explorer who set foot in Kappad in Calicut in 1498. The film will have Genelia D’Souza playing a princess of Portugal.
Interestingly, Urumi is the 8 feet-long long flexible sword used in Kalari fights since a long time. Sankar Ramakrishnan, who had directed the promising short film Island Express in the Kerala Cafe anthology, is writing the script. The film is set in the 15th century and will be made for international audiences.
