According to the teaser, 'Vilaayath Buddha' is based on a celebrated novel of the same name by GR Indugopan. Priyamvada Krishnan is the film's female lead.
As per the teaser of the movie, which was released earlier this year, the 'Vilaayath Buddha' movie unfolds as a thriller taking place in the lush sandalwood forests of Marayoor, known for its 'gold-bearing' trees.

The music of the film is composed by Jakes Bejoy, while Arvind Kashyap, who cranked the camera for 'Kantara 1 & 2', held the film's cinematography.
Prithviraj Sukumaran will also be seen in the upcoming film Khalifa, directed by Vysakh and written by Jinu V. Abraham.
In the video titled 'Glimpse', released earlier this year, Sukumaran was seen driving a luxury car and fighting goons. He is introduced as an elite criminal whom the police or the past governments have never caught.
The actor's character name is 'Aamir Ali' in the film. He was seen swinging a knife to kill his enemies.
At the end, Sukumaran was seen smoking a cigarette after hitting a man in a bus. As per the video, the film is slated to hit theatres on the occasion of Onam next year.
This gangster drama is touted to revolve around gold smuggling.

Marayoor forests as the backdrop sounds amazing! The cinematography by Arvind Kashyap who did Kantara should be spectacular. Hope they showcase Kerala's natural beauty properly. Also excited to see Priyamvada Krishnan as the female lead.
Another sandalwood smuggler role? Just saw Pushpa 2 and now this. Hope it's not just copying the trend. Prithviraj is a talented actor, would love to see him in more original concepts. But will definitely watch for his performance.
The cast looks solid with Shammi Thilakan and other supporting actors. GR Indugopan's novel adaptation should have good writing. Jakes Bejoy's music is always a plus. Looking forward to this thriller!
Prithviraj is juggling multiple big projects - Vilayath Budha and Khalifa both sound interesting. Hope the quality doesn't suffer due to tight schedules. The man works like a machine! Respect for his dedication to Malayalam cinema.
November 2025 is too far! 😠But good things take time I guess. The teaser was really promising and Prithviraj as a criminal mastermind should be fun to watch. Hope it lives up to the hype!
