Padavettu,
the
highly
anticipated
Nivin
Pauly-starrer
has
been
under
production
for
a
very
long
time.
The
movie,
which
went
through
several
ups
and
downs
lately,
has
finally
got
its
release
date.
The
exciting
update
was
revealed
by
Nivin
Pauly
and
the
team
members,
through
their
official
social
media
handles.
The
movie,
which
is
touted
to
be
a
rustic
thriller,
has
been
slated
to
hit
the
theatres
on
September
2,
2022.
In
that
case,
Padavettu
will
mark
Nivin
Pauly's
second
theatrical
release
of
the
year,
after
the
period
drama
Thuramukham.
The
leading
man,
who
shared
the
release
date
announcement
poster
on
his
official
pages,
wrote,
"The
story
of
fighting
for
survival
against
all
odds.
Our
labour
of
love,
PADAVETTU
is
releasing
in
a
cinema
near
you
on
2nd
September,
2022."
Padavettu,
which
is
one
of
the
most-awaited
upcoming
projects
of
Malayalam
cinema,
was
making
headlines
for
all
the
wrong
reasons
lately.
Liju
Krishna,
the
director
of
the
project,
was
outed
by
an
industry
member
in
the
MeToo
movement.
The
survivor
later
filed
a
police
complaint
against
the
debutant
director
for
allegedly
raping
and
physically
assaulting
her,
which
led
to
his
arrest.
The
arrest
happened
during
the
final
schedule
shooting
of
the
Nivin
Pauly-starrer.
It
was
the
associate
directors
who
later
finished
the
pending
portions
of
Padavettu.
