A glimpse into actor Dulquer Salmaan’s character from the upcoming Malayalam thriller Kurup (2020), directed by Srinath Rajendran, was unveiled on Tuesday to coincide with the actor's birthday.
The video introduces Dulquer as Kurup. The character then goes on to boldly declare that nobody can stop him, not the police nor politicians.
Actress Sobhita Dhulipala plays the leading lady in the film, which will be her maiden Malayalam film.
The makers had revealed in a statement that the project has been made on a budget of Rs35 crore, making it the biggest film in Dulquer’s career. It has been shot predominantly in Kerala, Gujarat, Maharashtra, Karnataka and and the UAE.
The film is based on the real life story of Sukumara Kurup, who scripted his own death so as to get his hands on the sum of money insured in his name. It’s been over three decades since and Sukumara is still at large.
