Kaduva,
the
highly
anticipated
Prithviraj
Sukumaran
starrer
has
finally
hit
the
theatres.
The
action
thriller
marks
the
comeback
of
celebrated
senior
filmmaker
Shaji
Kailas,
after
a
very
long
back.
Kaduva,
which
was
originally
supposed
to
hit
the
theatres
on
June
30,
2022,
is
finally
getting
released
after
a
prolonged
legal
tussle.
The
Shaji
Kailas
directorial,
which
features
Prithviraj
Sukumaran
as
the
central
character
Kaduvakunnel
Kuruvachan,
is
set
in
the
Kottayam
district
of
Kerala
in
the
1990s.
Prithviraj's
character
in
Kaduva,
Kuruvachan
aka
Kurian
is
a
young
planter
from
Kottayam,
who
is
immensely
ambitious
and
successful.
The
project
marks
the
actor's
second
collaboration
with
the
filmmaker,
after
the
2012-released
Simhasanam.
Here's
what
the
audience
feels
about
Kaduva.
Have
a
look...
Vivek
Oberoi,
the
popular
Bollywood
actor
is
playing
the
lead
antagonist
Thomas
Chandy
IPS,
in
Kaduva.
Thus,
the
project
marks
the
actor's
second
outing
with
Prithviraj
Sukumaran
after
his
celebrated
Malayalam
debut
Lucifer.
According
to
Vivek
Oberoi,
he
is
not
playing
a
cliche
antagonist
in
the
Shaji
Kailas
directorial,
but
his
character
has
a
well-defined
arc
and
layers.
The
sources
close
to
Kaduva
suggest
that
the
popular
Malayalam
channel
Surya
TV
has
bagged
the
satellite
rights
of
the
movie
for
a
whopping
price.
The
streaming
rights,
on
the
other
hand,
are
bagged
by
the
OTT
giant
Amazon
Prime
Video.
The
Prithviraj
Sukumaran
starrer
is
expected
to
revive
the
much-loved
mass
entertainer
genre,
which
is
slowly
fading
away
from
the
Malayalam
cinema.
The
movie
features
Saikumar,
Siddique,
Janardhanan,
Vijayaraghavan,
Aju
Varghese,
Harisree
Ashokan,
Kochu
Preman,
Rahul

so
on
in
