Dulquer
Salmaan
and
Nivin
Pauly,
two
of
the
most
sought-after
young
talents
of
the
Malayalam
film
industry,
might
have
a
box
office
face-off
very
soon.
If
the
reports
are
to
be
believed,
Dulquer
Salmaan's
much-awaited
Kurup
and
Nivin
Pauly's
ambitious
project
Thuramukham
might
clash
on
box
office,
this
November.
According
to
the
rumourmills,
Kurup,
which
is
touted
to
be
an
autobiographical
drama,
has
been
slated
to
hit
the
theatres
by
the
third
week
of
November
2021.
Thuramukham,
on
the
other
hand,
is
also
gearing
up
for
a
grand
theatrical
release
in
the
same
month.
The
release
dates
of
both
the
Dulquer
Salmaan
starrer
and
the
Nivin
Pauly
project
are
expected
to
be
announced
in
a
couple
of
days.
In
that
case,
the
Mollywood
box
office
will
witness
one
of
its
biggest
clashes
after
a
very
long
gap,
this
November.
As
reported
earlier,
the
theatres
of
Kerala
are
gearing
up
for
a
grand
reopening
on
October
25,
Monday.
In
the
latest
interaction
with
the
media,
the
theatre
owners
association
revealed
that
around
100
films
are
gearing
up
for
a
theatrical
release,
post
reopening.
Coming
back
to
Kurup,
the
highly
anticipated
project
that
features
Dulquer
Salmaan
in
the
lead
role
is
based
on
the
life
of
the
notorious
criminal
Sukumara
Kurup.
The
project
marks
the
actor-filmmaker's
second
collaboration
with
director
Srinath
Rajendran,
after
their
debut
film
Second
Show.
The
movie,
which
features
Indrajith
Sukumaran,
Shine
Tom
Chacko,
and
Shobita
Dhulipala
in
the
other
key
roles
is
bankrolled
by
Dulquer
Salmaan's
home
banner
Wayfarer
Films.
Thuramukham,
on
the
other
hand,
marks
Nivin
Pauly's
first
collaboration
with
the
renowned
filmmaker-cinematographer
Rajeev
Ravi.
The
movie,
which
is
touted
to
be
a
period
social
drama,
features
the
actor
as
the
central
character
Moidu.
The
Nivin
Pauly
starrer
features
an
extensive
star
cast
including
Nimisha
Sajayan,
Indrajith
Sukumaran,
Joju
George,
Poornima
Indrajith,
Arjun
Ashokan,
Sudev
Nair,
Darshana
Rajendran,
and
so
on
in
the
pivotal
roles.
