With the unusually titled 9, Prithviraj Sukumaran makes his debut as a solo producer. His earlier productions were made under the banner August Cinema, that also involved the likes of Santosh Sivan, Arya and Shaji Nadesan. A couple of years back Prithviraj announced that he is backing out of the team and is now focusing on solo productions. With 9, directed by Jenuse Mohammed, his new journey begins and going by the early positive reviews, it has started off on a great note! 9 (Nine) Malayalam Film Trailer: Fear of the Unknown Looms Large in This Prithviraj Sukumaran, Prakash Raj and Mamta Mohandas Thriller – Watch Video.

9 is touted as a paranormal thriller about a father trying to figure out what is wrong with his son, who seems to be under the influence of supernatural elements. Mamta Mohandas is the female lead, while Prakash Raj and Wamiqa Gabbi (of Godha fame) are seen in important roles. The trailer of the film got wide appreciation on social media, including from Bollywood film-maker Karan Johar. Lucifer Teaser: Mohanlal is The Devil's Incarnate in Prithviraj Sukumaran's Directorial Debut.
