After a long wait and OTT release speculations, the news doing the rounds is that the makers of the Dulquer Salmaan-starrer Kurup are eyeing a May release for the highly anticipated film. If true, this will be the third big-budget film to be released in the same month after Fahadh Faasil’s Malik and Nivin Pauly’s Thuramukham.

Directed by Srinath Rajendran, Kurup boasts a stellar ensemble cast comprising Sobhita Dhulipala, Indrajith Sukumaran, Shine Tom Chacko and Shivajith Padmanabhavan, among others.

Recently the makers announced a plan to release the film in five Indian languages, including Malayalam, Tamil, Hindi, Telugu, and Kannada. A pan-Indian release would likely bode well for the film which was shot in Kerala, Dubai, Ahmedabad, Mumbai, Mysuru, and Mangaluru.

Scripted by KS Aravind and Daniel Sayooj Nair, from a story by Jithin K Jose, Kurup has the backing of Dulquer’s home banner Wayfarer Films.
