Prithivraj's new movie in Malayalam 'Thalappavu' will get completed with a day's shoot. The crew and the director are planning to hold the shoot at Wayanad, this week itself, to wrap up the movie. Directed by actor Madhupal, the movie is basically a take on the real life murder of Naxalite Varghese.

The movie follows Varghese who led his band of followers on a killing spree that invoked the Naxalite theory of annihilation of class enemies in the late sixties. But on February 18, 1970, Varghese was captured and killed by the police in a Latin-American style execution in the jungles of Wayanad in north Kerala.

The movie is told as a personal experience of Ravindran Pillai, a policeman associated with the incident. Majority of the movie was shot at Neryamangalam and Kuttand area.

Scripted by Babu Janadhanan, the makers of the movie are planning to hold previews of the movie at the major cities within a couple of weeks.
