The much-awaited Malayalam movie, "Amar Akbar Antony", which will star Prithviraj, Indrajith and Jayasurya is shaping up to be a grand project.

The Nadirshah directorial is scheduled to begin shooting by April 2015. The director has proved his talent as mimicry artist, singer and actor and now he is expected to prove his talent as a film-maker.

The film is touted as a comedy entertainer and the title is inspired from the names of the three protagonists of the film.
