PRITHVIRAJ ANNOUNCES SECOND DIRECTORIAL; CHOICE OF HERO HARDLY SURPRISES ANYONE! DEETS

The story revolved around the works behind the usurp of power post the death of P.K Ramadas, the head of a ruling political party. A tussle ensues after that as the loss creates a leadership vacuum amongst the members of the party, and that's when everyone wants to overthrow and destroy the good image of an influential member of the party - Stephen Nedumpally (played by Mohanlal).

The film released in 2019 and was welcomed well. Now, Prithviraj has announced his second directorial, and no surprises here, it again stars Mohanlal in the lead.

Prithviraj took to Twitter and wrote –

My 2nd directorial. #BRODADDY will once again be headlined by The Lalettan @Mohanlal, with an ensemble cast including yours truly. Produced by #AntonyPerumbavoor (#AashirvadCinemas), a fun family drama that makes you smile, laugh & want to revisit. Rolling soon. Very soon. (sic)
