Priyadarshan to direct a cop-thriller before next with Akshay Kumar?

After a tepid response to ‘Hungama 2’, Priyadarshan is set to direct a cop-thriller movie, ahead of his upcoming project with Akshay Kumar.

PinkVilla reports say that he is set to work with Producer, Ratan Jain on the film, which will revolve around four key characters – three men and a woman.

A source said, “Priyadarshan is known for making all kinds of films in the Malayalam industry and he has been keen to step outside the comedy space in Bollywood too. He had been toying with the idea of making a cop-based action thriller for a while now and things have finally fallen in place. The ace director will take the film on floors in October with a start-to-finish two-month schedule.”

The source added, “It’s a cop film, and stepping away from the general norm of making comedies, this one would be more in the serious space, keeping the viewers on the edge of their seats. In-fact, there is also a possibility of this being a taut 2-hour songless thriller.”
