Prithviraj Sukumaran and Vivek Oberoi’s Kaduva is all set to hit theatres on June 30. The upcoming ‘mass’ action thriller has already got die-hard fans of the Malayalam actor excited for the release as it marks his comeback to the genre after almost a decade.

The team has also ensured that the movie gets a pan-Indian theatrical release, with its dropping in all South languages. Considering the actor’s soaring popularity after the reception of his recent movies such as Driving Licence, Ayyappanum Koshiyum and Jana Gana Mana in OTT, Kaduva’s digital rights too were much sought after by leadings streaming platforms.

According to reports, Amazon Prime Video has clinched the deal with the film’s producers – Prithviraj Productions and Magic Frames. Incidentally, Prithviraj’s previous direct-to-OTT releases such as Cold Case, Kuruthi and Bhramam had all released on the platform. Kaduva is expected to premiere on the platform after the film’s theatrical run, by July end or the first week of August.

The movie, which has Shaji Kailas as the director and Jinu V Abraham as its scriptwriter, is set in the 90s and revolves around the ego tussles between a rubber planter named Kaduvakunnel Kuruvachan and a police chief essayed by Vivek Oberoi. Arjun Ashokan, Samyuktha Menon, Rahul Madhav, Baiju Santosh and Seema play other pivotal roles in the big budget movie that went on floors last year.

Prithviraj in recent interviews said that he believes that Kaduva would reawaken the genre of ‘mass’ films in Malayalam, which has recently been lauded for its rooted-to-reality movies. The actor had also addressed how Malayalam movies had been getting a lot of feedback from audience of other languages especially Telugu after their OTT releases. He had hoped that Kaduva too gets similar responses, when it hits theatres in all South languages as well as after its OTT release.
