The actor released new posters from his upcoming film, Magudam. The posters also reveals the actor to be making his directorial debut, along with writing the screenplay.

Through a note through his X handle, the actor wrote, “On this special occasion, I wish to officially share the 2nd look of my current film Magudam/Makutam and also reveal a long pending stand that I had taken at the beginning stages of the shoot and now it’s time to officially announce that this film is going to be my directorial debut.”

He added, “Yes, never expected this scenario but circumstances had led me to take a crucial decision to rework the creative process and direct this film, a decision made not out of compulsion, but out of responsibility. As an actor, I’ve always believed that cinema is a commitment to the audience who trusts us and to the producers who invest their faith and hard earned money in every project.”

He also wrote, “And now taking the director’s seat for Magudam/Makutam is the only way of ensuring that this film stands tall, that the producer’s efforts are safeguarded, and that the audience receive the best experience they truly deserve in the world of commercial cinema. Sometimes, taking the right decision means taking charge, mending things to see the larger picture ahead in the most progressive and successful way. And that’s exactly what this Diwali/Deepawali symbolizes for me.”

The film features Anjali, Dushara Vijayan, and Yogi Babu in prominent roles, with music by G.V. Prakash Kumar. RB Choudary is producing the film under his Super Good Films banner.
