Vidya's a bound craftsman Prithiviraj

The film, a tri-lingual in Malayalam, Hindi and Tamil, will be co-produced by Prithviraj. Urumi, made at a cost of Rs 20 crore, is perhaps the biggest pan-Indian multi-starrer in the making with a host of stars like Prithviraj, Prabhudeva, Genelia, Nithya Menon, Amol Gupte and Jagathy Sreekumar, besides 45 British actors and special appearances by Tabu, Vidya Balan and Vikram.

How did Urumi evolve and what made you turn producer? If there is a god in cinematography, it has to be Santosh Sivan! He weaves magic with the camera. This will be my third film with him. Santosh narrated the story of Urumi three years ago to me when I played the lead role in his Anandabhadram. Later, during the making of Raavanan, things started taking shape and finally, along with my friend Shaji Natesan, we joined hands as producers.
