Prithviraj praises Lijo Jose Pellissery’s direction in Ee Ma Yau

Prithviraj’s directorial debut Lucifer has broken all box office records in Malayalam. While Lucifer was a big budget film, the actor-director maintains each film comes with its own set of challenges and lauded Lijo Jose Pellissery for his acclaimed directorial Ee Ma Yau.
“I don’t think a director’s skill needs to be measured by how big a film is. Something like an Ee Ma Yau showcases a different directorial skill.It’s just that when a film is big, there are different modalities involved like humongous man management situations, and to be able to pull off the logistics in a film like Lucifer is quite a challenge. And that is not something that a director does himself alone. The complete credit goes to my crew,” he told us.
Incidentally, Prithviraj initially planned to direct City of God, which was helmed by Lijo. The duo had also collaborated on Double Barrel.
