Malayalam film actor Prithviraj will be seen in a dual-faceted role in his upcoming film ‘James and Alice’, the directorial debut of cinematographer Sujith Vasudev.
Prithviraj will be playing the role of James, an ad filmmaker and the role of his wife Alice, a banking professional, will be played by Tamil actress Vedhika.
“The movie shows two different phases of Prithviraj’s character – before and after marriage. In the initial half, he lives a jovial, carefree life while the latter has him leading a responsible, practical life,” director Sujith Vaassudev told The Times of India.
Prithviraj will be seen in different looks before and after marriage. In his younger days, the character will be seen with a ponytail and after marriage, in salt-and-pepper look.
The story revolves around the life of James and Alice who get married without the consent of their family.
“The younger days has him playing an artist with international sensibilities. But he soon realises paintings won’t be enough to sustain a livelihood. So, he turns to advertising and that’s shown in the second half of the movie,” Vasudev told The Times of India.
The role of their daughter will be played by Akshara Kishore, a popular child artist of the popular Malayalam TV series Karuthamuthu.
The film is slated to release on April 29, 2016.
