Kaduva,
the
highly
anticipated
Prithviraj
Sukumaran
starrer
which
is
directed
by
Shaji
Kailas,
had
started
rolling
recently.
However,
the
shooting
of
the
action
thriller
is
now
suspended
due

the
increasing
COVID-19
cases
in
Kerala.
Director
Shaji
Kailas
recently
took
to
his
official
social
media
pages
and
confirmed
that
the
Kaduva
shoot
is
suspended
temporarily.
"We
are
suspending
the
shooting
of
the
film
"Kaduva" in
solidarity
with
our
government's
COVID-19
preventive
measures.
We
will
resume
filming
when
the
situation
becomes
a
little
more
comfortable...
Stay
safe...
Stay
Healthy....🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏,"
the
senior
filmmaker
wrote
on
his
social
media
post.
As

the
latest
updates,
almost
all
the
projects
that

again,

confirmed
that
there
won't
be
any
