Hariharan to film Syamanthakam next year

Director Hariharan, who had recently announced that he is all set to make a movie on Lord Krishna, is busy with the casting of the film.
He has already roped in Prithviraj in the multilingual titled Syamanthakam, which will be released in Malayalam, Tamil, Telugu and Hindi.
The Pazhassi Raja filmmaker has been shuttling between Mumbai and Kochi to cast its actors and work out the dates to start filming the movie.“It’s a pan-Indian story and we are looking at actors from North as well as South industries. We have now zeroed in on several stars but are yet to reach an agreement with them,” he says.
The movie will show the different sides of the hero as a warrior, lover and philosopher. “Prithviraj has given us his dates after March next year. By then we would have locked down the cast and locations. We are looking at Shillong and some other scenic locations to capture the mood of the story,” the National Award-winning director explains.
Prithviraj is currently filming Darwinte Parinamam and is expected to join the sets of Sujith Vaassudev’s James and Alice by December first week.
