Malayalam superstar Dulquer Salmaan’s latest gangster-actioner, which is helmed by Abhilash Joshiy, is gearing up for its OTT release after almost 30 days of its theatrical run. The film, which is also produced by the Sita Ramam star, was touted to be his most expensive movie till date.

Though King of Kotha didn’t quite set the box office on fire as was expected, the period movie, set in the 80s and 90s, managed to rake in over Rs 40 Cr from worldwide box office. The film’s satellite, digital and overseas rights were also sold for a record price.
