We had reported earlier that Vivek Oberoi is playing the main baddie opposite Prithviraj Sukumaran in Shaji Kailas' upcoming action thriller Kaduva. Vivek has announced that he has joined the sets of the film.

Vivek plays a senior police official -- a D.I.G named James Elias Manjiledathu. The actor had earlier made his Malayalam debut in Prithviraj’s directorial debut Lucifer, which got him much acclaim.

Meanwhile, Prithviraj plays an influential planter named Kaduvakkunnel Kuruvachan, while Samyuktha Menon plays his wife in Kaduva.

Arjun Ashokan, Sai Kumar, Siddique, Seema, Dileesh Pothan, Vijayaraghavan, Aju Varghese, Sudev Nair, Rahul Madhav, Kalabhavan Shajohn and Priyanka Nair are also part of the cast.

Kaduva has a script by Jinu Abraham. Abhinandan Ramanujam and Sujith Vaassudev are the directors of photography. Shameer Muhammed is editing it, and Jakes Bejoy is in charge of the music.

Supriya Menon is backing the film under Prithviraj Productions in association with Listin Stephen’s Magic Frames.
