Dulquer's Kurup heading to OTT?

Dulquer Salmaan's Kurup is likely to go the OTT route. As per reports, the Srinath Rajendran film is being sought by major streaming platforms for a record price. The decision to reopen Kerala theatres only next year is said to have increased the film's chances of getting a digital release.

Kurup was supposed to be out in the first half of 2020. The big-budget film, produced by Dulquer's Wayfarer Films and M-Star Entertainments, is based on the escapades of a real-life criminal named Sukumara Kurup who remains absconding to this day.

Dulquer's co-stars include Shine Tom Chacko, Indrajith Sukumaran, Sobhita Dhulipala, Sunny Wayne, Surabhi Lakshmi, P Balachandran, and Shivajith Padmanabhan.

Filming took place for over six months in locations such as Dubai, Ahmedabad, Kochi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, and Mysuru. Srinath Rajendran directed the film from a script co-written by KS Aravind and Daniel Sayooj Nair, adapted from a story by Jithin K Jose.

Nimish Ravi handled the cinematography and Vivek Harshan, the editing. Sushin Shyam composed the music with National award-winner Vinesh Banglan (Kammara Sambhavam) in charge of production design.
