Prithviraj Sukumaran Confirms Censor Clearance as Film Gears Up for 21 November Release

For the unaware, Prithviraj plays a character called 'Double Mohan' in the film, which is now scheduled to hit screens on November 21 this year.

A teaser released recently by the makers of the film has added to the excitement of fans.

The teaser released begins with two cops discussing about "Double", whose real name is Mohan. One cop informs that Double is the main agent when it comes to smuggling sandalwood and that it is only through him that much of the business that happens there takes place. In fact, he gives him the moniker "Kutty Veerappan" (Little Veerappan) to Double.

The teaser then shows Mohan (Prithviraj) to be a cheeky and courageous character, who doesn't mind taking on cops. When a cop confronts him and tells him, "Who do you think you are? Pushpa?," Double Mohan mocks him saying, "Oh, he is international. I am just local." The teaser also shows that there is a romantic side to Mohan and that Mohan's sweetheart backs him whole-heartedly. The teaser ends with those more powerful than Mohan pointing out to him that he hasn't grown to the extent they have and Mohan confidently pointing out that he has weathered enough storms to be taken seriously enough.

Produced by Sandip Senan and A V Anoop, the film, which has been written by G R Indugopan and Rajesh Pinnadan, has triggered huge interest among fans and film buffs. Prithviraj Sukumaran's 'Vilaayath Budha' Release Date Out, Set to Hit Theatres on Nov 21.
