Dulquer
Salmaan
and
Soubin
Shahir
announced
their
ambitious
project
Othiram
Kadakam
in
2021,
on
the
occasion
of
the
pan-Indian
star's
birthday.
However,
recently
it
was
rumoured
that
the
project
is
shelved
due
to
various
reasons.
But,
director
Soubin
Shahir
has
now
put
an
end
to
the
rumours
and
confirmed
that
the
Dulquer
Salmaan
starrer
is
very
much
on
cards.
The
actor-filmmaker
cleared
the
air
upon
Othiram
Kadakam
in
a
recent
interview
given
to
the
leading
Malayalam
online
media,
The
Cue.
In
his
conversation
with
Maneesh
Narayanan,
Soubin
Shahir
revealed
that
he
intends
to
bring
an
unseen
side
of
Dulquer
Salmaan
with
the
much-awaited
project.
He
also
added
that
Othiram
Kadakam
is
a
big
budget
venture,
that
will
have
the
elements
of
comedy
and
horror.
Soubin
Shahir's
confirmation
came
out
as
a
great
relief
for
the
Dulquer
Salmaan
fans
and
Malayalam
cinema
lovers,
who
were
eagerly
waiting
for
Othiram
Kadakam
ever
since
its
launch.
The
sources
close
to
the
project
suggest
that
it
will
go
on
floors
only
after
a
few
months,
as
it
demands
extensive
pre-production
and
is
being
made
on
a
large
scale.
As
reported
earlier,
Othiram
Kadakam
is
also
going
to
be
a
star-studded
project,
just
like
Dulquer
Salmaan
and
Soubin
Shahir's
first
collaboration
Parava.
The
reports
suggest
that
the
big
budget
venture
will
be
a
film
that
gives
major
importance
to
its
antagonist.
According
to
the
sources
close
to
the
project,
a
popular
South
Indian
star
has
been
roped
in
to
play
the
antagonist
in
the
film.
Before
kickstarting
the
shooting
of
Othiram
Kadakam,
Dulquer
Salmaan
is
expected
to
finish
a
couple
of
projects
including
King
Of
Kotha
and
an
untitled
another
language
project.
King
Of
Kotha,
which
is
touted
to
be
a
gangster
thriller,
marks
the
directorial
debut
of
senior
filmmaker
Joshiy's
son
Abhilash
Joshiy.
The
charming
actor
will
be
next
seen
in
the
upcoming
trilingual
love
story,
Sita
Ramam.
