Malayalam star Prithviraj Sukumaran has entertained his fans for decades. His directorial debut Lucifer starring superstar Mohanlal enthralled fans alike. He is now entering the Hindi OTT space with a web series based on the controversial businessman Rajan Pillai. The series will be produced by Yoodlee Films and isn’t yet disclosed if it will be produced in Malayalam as well.

The story of the untitled series is based on the life, rise and fall of businessman Rajan Pillai who owned shares of Britannia Industries. He later came to be known as the biscuit king due to his immense success. However soon foul play was uncovered and he was prosecuted with 22 charges of fraud and breach of trust by Singapore's Commercial Affairs Department. He died after his arrest on the 4th day in Tihar jail in 1994. 

Talking about the series Prithviraj said, “All this at the age of 47. Even though he passed away in 1995, his story serves as a relevant example of how the effects of success and power blur the line of morality, to this generation. As an actor and filmmaker, I've always been fascinated by the existence of light and darkness in our lives, and this story has it all: ambition, success, a jet-setting lifestyle, and then a hubris-induced collapse that carried a man from the pinnacle of corporate power to the depravity of a jail cell.”
