In a recent interview with an online channel, Prem Kumar shared that he had narrated parts of a script to Fahadh Faasil and that they are likely to collaborate soon. Unlike the two films he has made so far, Prem Kumar said that this new script would have elements of an action thriller. Prem Kumar also said that this script would not be devoid of his core emotional elements, adding that he narrated as much as 45 minutes of the film to Fahadh.
Earlier, it was announced that Prem Kumar’s next would be with actor Vikram in a production for Vels Films International. But there are no details on which of the two films will move into production next. In the same interview, Prem Kumar also hinted at the plots of his next three films. Apart from the action thriller with Fahadh, he spoke about an adventure survival drama with nine characters and a love story without a heroine in it. In an earlier interview with The Hollywood Reporter India, the filmmaker had also confirmed he will soon work on a sequel to 96.
