Filmmaker and actor Prithviraj Sukumaran unveiled the teaser of his upcoming Malayalam film titled Gold. Helmed by director Alphonse Puthren, the film stars Nayanthara in the lead. The teaser was unveiled on Tuesday, March 22 and has been trending on YouTube India. Sharing the news with fans, Alphone Puthren wrote on Facebook: “Trending No.1 Thank you each and everyone for your valuable comments and love.”
The video starts with Prithviraj’s character noticing a gang of men in a lorry. He suspects them to be involved in a shady affair and follows them. We then see a slow-motion shot of Prithviraj entering the frame, which coincides with a catchy background score. The teaser also introduces us to Nayanthara, who is fondly known as the ‘Lady Superstar’. Like Prithviraj’s introductory scene, Nayanthara’s shot too is filled with gravitas. She sports a sinister look towards the end of the video.
The film has music by Rajesh Murugeshan,while Anend C Chandran is handling the cinematography for the project. Apart from writing and directing Gold, filmmaker Alphonse is also on board as the editor. The project is produced by Prithviraj Productions and Magic Frames.
