2009 has not been a great year for Prithviraj so far as all his films fell flat at the box office. But it seems that the producers and directors still have great faith in him as he has quite an interesting line up of films this year and the next. The first one in that list is ‘Puthiya Mukam’ which will hit the theatres tomorrow.

‘Puthiya Mukham’ is directed by Deepan who was an associate to Shaji Kailas. Deepan had earlier debuted as an independent director with the film, ‘The Leader’ which couldn’t make any impact at the box office.

The film has Prithviraj playing the character of Krishnakumar, a mridangam player. After joining an engineering college in Cochin his life takes a turn and he is forced to take on the real estate mafia and liquor lobby.

Priyamani and Meera Nandan are paired opposite Prithviraj in the movie. Bala plays an important role in the film which has Saikumar, Jagathy Sreekumar, Shammy Thilakan, Sudheesh, Vijayaraghavan, Suraj Venjaramood and Janardhanan in supporting roles.

Deepak Dev has scored the music for the film and Kaithapuram Damodaran Namboothiri has penned the lyrics. Prithviraj has turned a singer for this film. He has sung the title song, “Suryamugham Ini Oru Puthiyamugham…”.

‘Puthiya Mukham’ is produced by Anil Mathew and S. Murugan under the banner of Bethesda Productions. The film is marketed by Time Ad Release.
