On the 71st Republic Day, actor Prithviraj shared the first look poster of his upcoming film titled 'Karachi 81' directed by KS Bava. Featuring the star in an unrecognizable old-man avatar, the poster carries the tagline ‘India’s greatest episode of espionage’.

Prithviraj shared the first look poster of the movie while extending republic day greetings. Tovino Thomas will also play a lead role in the film. The duo was last seen together in Prithviraj's directorial 'Lucifer'.

As per reports, 'Karachi 81' will be a big-budget movie and will be shot in Rajasthan, Kochi, and Moscow. ‘Karachi 81’ is expected to go on floors towards the year-end when both Prithviraj and Tovino are free from their other commitments.

On the technical side, Sujith Vaassudev is the cinematographer and Mahesh Narayanan takes care of the editing. Jakes Bejoy will be composing the music and Anto Joseph Film Company is producing the film.

At the same time, Prithviraj is prepping up for the release of his much-awaited action flick 'Ayappanum Koshiyum' directed by Sachy. The movie will hit theatres on February 7.
