Thiruvananthapuram: Prithviraj and director Aashiq Abu withdrew from the Variamkunnan project. The film was announced in June 2020. Aashiq Abu said that he withdrew from the film due to a dispute with the producers.
According to the director, Vaariamkunnan withdrew from the film a year and a half after it was announced. With this, the assessment is that the announcement of the film, which was a big discussion on social media, has come to an end.
