Prithviraj Becomes Asif Ali’s Stunt Master

It is really interesting when few tit bits behind the camera comes out for any film and its much interesting when it happens for a multistarrer or a star studded film. Something like that happened recently for the upcoming Onam flick ‘Sapthamashree Thaskaraha‘. The film starring Prithviraj and Asif Ali as two major leads is almost done and is getting ready for a release in a week or another. The film has Prithviraj playing more of a subtle character and he doesn’t have any stunt scenes in the movie. But whereas Asif Ali’s character has few and the unit was planning to take Asif’s intro where he will have an intense fight sequence. During the shoot the stunt master of the movie was unavailable due to some personal issues and the unit had to shoot the scene then and there itself. The director Anil Radhakrishna Menon on the other side doesn’t have much idea about fight sequences. That was the time Prithviraj came into the scene and directed the action sequence himself. Known through some of his previous films Prithvi was quiet known about fight sequences and that helped Asif, the director and the film altogether. According to the director it was a delight watching to popular stars co-ordinating themselves for the film and it made everyone on in the crew pleasant. Keep it up Prithvi and Asif. Sapthamashree Thaskaraha is Anil Radhakrsihna’s second outing after the critical acclaimed and national award winning film ‘North 24 Kaatham‘ starring Fahadh Faasil. The film is being produced by Prithvi’s home production ‘August Cinemas’ and will deal with a plot about seven thieves and a heist. Reenu Mathews will be seen opposite Prithvi as the female lead.
