Talking
about
Dulquer
Salmaan's
character
in
the
movie,
Sukumar
Kurup
is
one
of
the
most
wanted
criminals,
who
was
accused
of
faking
his
death
and
killing
a
man
(Chacko)
to
claim
his
insurance.
He
has
been
on
the
run
since
the
year
1984.
The
movie
marks
Dulquer's
second
collaboration
with
the
director
after
his
debut
film
Second
Show
(2012).
Shot
across
India
and
the
Middle
East,
the
crime
drama
is
bankrolled
by
Wayfarer
Films.
It
can
be
safely
said
that
the
pan-Indian
star
has
successfully
established
himself
as
the
most
bankable
young
actor
of
contemporary
Malayalam
cinema,
with
the
huge
success
of
Kurup
and
now
the
OTT
release
of
the
movie
will
be
nothing
less
than
a
treat
for
the
fans.
