Dulquer
Salmaan,
the
pan-Indian
star
finally
revealed
the
much-awaited
Kurup
release
date
on
Saturday
(October
23,
2021).
The
highly
anticipated
project,
which
marks
Dulquer
Salmaan's
second
collaboration
with
director
Srinath
Rajendran,
is
slated
to
hit
the
theatres
on
November
12,
2021.
Kurup
is
hitting
the
theatres
as
the
first
mainstream
Malayalam
release
after
the
reopening.
"At
long
long
last,
we
are
ready.
Ready
to
set
Kurup
free.
Our
biggest
film
yet,
Kurup,
is
free
from
being
caged
and
locked
down
and
slated
to
release
in
theaters
all
across
the
world.
It
has
been
a
long
ambitious
yet
arduous
journey
with
Kurup.
In
ideation
for
several
years.
Filming
for
close
to
a
year.
And
months
and
months
of
post
production.
And
then
the
pandemic.
There
were
long
months
where
we
had
no
idea
if
Kurup
would
ever
see
the
light
of
day.
But
the
unanimous
and
overwhelming
love,
the
support,
the
constant
requests
from
all
of
you
to
wait
till
theatres
opened,
helped
us
survive
in
some
of
the
toughest
times.
I've
said
it
to
close
family
and
friends
many
a
time
that
the
film
Kurup
almost
feels
like
my
second
child.
I
feel
like
it's
a
living
breathing
thing
with
a
life
and
destiny
of
it's
own.
There
is
nothing
I
havnt
and
wouldn't
do
for
this
film
to
become
the
best
version
of
itself.
Physically
and
mentally
I've
given
it
my
all.
I
know
I've
said
a
lot
of
'I's.
Not
to
take
away
from
the
tremendous
effort
and
talent
of
the
team
that
made
it
what
it
is.
But
I
just
want
to
speak
from
the
heart
about
my
special
relationship
with
this
film.
We
as
a
team
have
fought
many
battles
internally
and
externally
to
bring
it
together.
To
do
justice
to
it.
To
nurture
and
care
for
it.
As
it
grew
from
an
idea
to
everyday
growing
bigger
and
bigger
to
what
is
in
my
eyes
a
giant
now.
Kurup
like
I
mentioned
always
had
a
destiny
if
it's
own.
And
I
always
knew
it
wouldn't
come
out
till
it
felt
the
time
was
right
and
it
felt
ready.
And
now
it's
time
to
finally
let
Kurup
free.
And
I
pray
and
hope
you
all
give
it
wings.
And
it
reaches
great
heights.
Conning
Soon
Across
languages
in
cinemas
near
you
on
November
12th
2021
