The teaser of Dulquer Salmaan's Kurup was released earlier today, and it hints at a thrilling story about the infamous fugitive. In the teaser, Dulquer looks dapper and stylish as the most-wanted Kurup.

The teaser was released in five languages — Malayalam, Tamil, Hindi, Telugu, and Kannada.

Said to be Dulquer's most expensive film to date, the true-crime period film chronicles the daring escapades of infamous criminal Sukumara Kurup, who is yet to be caught. Dulquer plays the eponymous character, while Indrajith Sukumaran essays a police officer.

Sobhita Dhulipala stars as the female lead in a cast that also features Sunny Wayne, Shine Tom Chacko, Shivajith Padmanabhan, Vijayaraghavan, P Balachandran, and Surabi Lakshmi among others.

Kurup is helmed by Srinath Rajendran, who had also directed Dulquer's debut film, Second Show. Daniell Sayooj Nair and KS Aravind have penned the screenplay and dialogues from a story by Jithin K Jose.
