Simhasanam, starring Prithviraj, is the new movie of director Shaji Kailas, whose recent movie The King and The Commissioner, starring Mammootty is doing very poorly at the box office. The shooting of Simhasanam has started at Varikkassery Mana at Ottappalam, which is said to be Shaji's favourite location.

The story of this movie revolves around a journalism student named Arjun (Prithviraj), who is from a prestigious family, in Chandragiri.

Apart from direction, Shaji has tried his hand at scripting as well. This movie will also feature Vandana, Aiswarya, Thilakan, Siddhique, Manianpillai Raju and Saikumar in important roles. Produced by Chandrakumar, under the banner of Malavika Production, Simhasanam will grace the screens across Kerala by the end of this year.
