Here are the official posts for Khalifa:
Khalifa is said to be a Malayalam-language movie, touted as a revenge thriller. The film, which was announced in 2022, is said to take place against the backdrop of a gold mafia and was earlier expected to be shot extensively in the UAE.
However, the makers seem to be headed to London for the shoot now. The film helmed by Turbo fame Vysakh marks the director’s second collaboration with Prithvi after the commercial entertainer Pokkiriraja.
Moreover, the screenplay is penned by Jinu Abraham, who has written for Prithviraj’s movies, including Kaduva and Adam Joan. The film’s musical tracks and background scores will be crafted by Jakes Bejoy.

Prithviraj Sukumaran was last seen in the supporting role for the movie L2: Empuraan, starring Mohanlal. The film, directed by Prithviraj himself, was the sequel to Lucifer (2019) and the second installment in a planned duology.
The Aadujeevitham actor will next be seen in the lead role for Sarzameen, alongside Kajol and Ibrahim Ali Khan. Moreover, his next release in Malayalam is expected to be Vilayath Buddha.
The upcoming film is said to be a thriller flick based on the novel of the same name.

While the shoot has already wrapped up, an official release date is yet to be announced.
