Prithviraj as Veluthampi Dalava

Renowned Malayalam director Viji Thampi, known for his successful flims on historical characters, is now making a film based on the life of Velayudhan Chempakaraman Thampi, popularly known as Veluthampi Dalava, who was the Dalava (Prime Minister) of Travancore from 1802 to 1809.

Prithviraj will enact the role of Veluthampi Dalava, one of the earliest Indian freedom fighters who revolted against British forces in the Indian subcontinent. This untitled film is produced by Renjith Rejaputra and scripted by Renji Paniker. The shooting will commence soon.
