Trivandrum, May.25 (NR): The pooja of 'The Thriller', to be directed by B Unnikrishnan was held at Trivandrum.

This film would have young superstar Prithviraj in the lead role.

Unnikrishnan's last film 'Pramaani' had generated a lukewarm response at the box office.

Unnikrishnan said that his new film would be based on a murder that was committed in the state recently. The film would be an investigative thriller and Prithvi would be playing a cop.

The film that is being produced by Sabu K Cherian would start its shoot next month. The heroine is yet to be finalised.
