Malayalam movie KURUP in theatres |
The much-awaited Malayalam movie `Kurup` starring Dulquer Salman hit theatres on November 12. `Kurup` is directed by Srinath Rajendran. It is the story of Kerala`s most wanted criminal Sukumara Kurup who absconds after murdering a film representative Chacko to embezzle the insurance money by scripting his own death. `Kurup`, according to police, was influenced by a German crime novel and tried to script his own death to get the insurance claim. The claim was for Rs 800 thousand and Kurup killed Chacko, a film representative after giving him a lift in his car while Chacko was waiting for a bus late at night. Sukumara Kurup reportedly fled abroad while his two associates - driver Ponnappan and brother-in-law Bhaskara Pillai - were sentenced to life imprisonment. Sukumara Kurup has been on the list of absconding since January 1984 and the Chacko murder case is one of the longest-running cases in the judicial history of the state. The movie which was supposed to hit theatres on May 28, 2021, was delayed following the Covid pandemic that ravaged the state. The movie which is produced on a budget of Rs 350 million is being given a worldwide release. According to producers, the movie will be released in the US, the UK, and Canada along with Gulf countries and Singapore. The film is jointly produced by Wayfarer Films of Dulquer Salman along with M-Star Entertainments. The movie was shot in Kerala, Mumbai, Dubai, Mangaluru, Mysuru, Gujarat, and Ahmadabad. Apart from Dulquer Salman, the cast includes Indrajit Sukumaran, Sunny Wayne, Shine Tom Chacko, Shobhita Dhulipala, and Bharath Srinivasan in key roles.
