Mollywood's heartthrob Nivin Pauly who is currently awaiting the release of his Tamil movie 'Richie', will be next teaming up with Prabhu Radhakrishnan, who has earlier assisted Priyadarshan and Santhosh Sivan, for a Kollywood project. "Thanks to 'Premam', his popularity has grown beyond Malayalam industry. He's very popular among Tamil audiences as well," Prabhu told IAS.

“I wanted to cast Nivin as he is a heartthrob and enjoys a huge fan base even in the North," says Prabhu Radhakrishnan on his collaboration with the Malayalam actor. The yet-to-be titled movie is the third production venture of 24AM Studios.

Scripted by D Raja, the movie is currently in the pre-production stage and is expected to start rolling in January 2018. The project which marks the second Tamil outing of Nivin Pauly will have PC Sreeram cranking the camera. More details on the movie are expected to be unveiled soon!
