Is Tamil actor Jai replacing Prithvi in Mammootty's 'Madhura Raja'?

'Madhura Raja' is one of most hyped movies of the year and even since director Vyshak announced it, there is an immense buzz about the probable lead stars.

Interestingly, the makers came up with a brand new poster of 'Madhura Raja', featuring Mammootty and Tamil actor Jai. And movie buffs are of the view that Jai has been roped in to replace Prithviraj Sukumaran.

'Madhura Raja', which brings back the character Raja, is a sequel to 2010 movie 'Pokkiri Raja' which saw Mammootty and Prithviraj in the lead.

The motion poster of the movie was also released and suggests that Mammootty as Raja is all set for a grand comeback.

Touted to be a Vishu release, the high-octane action flick is written by Uday Krishna. Hollywood stunt director Peter Hein, who has choreographed action sequences in several hit movies, has been roped in for the film which is being shot now.

Shaji Kumar will be handling the cinematography for the film. Gopi Sundar is the music composer and John Kutty is the editor
