Will Prithviraj direct Hrithik Roshan`s movie with Hombale Films?

A few days ago, Hrithik Roshan announced his exciting collaboration with Hombale Films, the production house behind blockbuster hits like KGF and Salaar. Following the announcement, rumors began circulating that actor and filmmaker Prithviraj Sukumaran might direct Hrithik’s upcoming film. Now, a source close to the production has responded to the speculation.

Is Prithviraj directing the movie?

According to a report in Pinkvilla, the rumours about Prithviraj directing Hrithik Roshan in the Hombale Films project are baseless. A source close to the production house told the portal, “No director has been signed yet. Please do not believe in rumors — we will officially announce all developments related to the project in due course.”

Why the rumors made sense

The speculation around Prithviraj directing the film isn’t surprising. The Malayalam superstar shares a strong professional relationship with Hombale Films and was part of Salaar: Part 1 alongside Prabhas. As a director, Prithviraj made a smashing debut with the 2019 film Lucifer, which broke box office records in Kerala. Its sequel, L2: Empuraan, released earlier this year and became the highest-grossing Malayalam film ever.
