Theerppu, which is produced by Vijay Babu’s Friday Film House, was initially planned as an OTT release and was also shot as one when it went on floors after the first lockdown. Prithviraj in an earlier interview had said, “Theerppu was a film that was shot in 2020 and it was entirely conceived to be an OTT movie. The format itself is not for the big screen. So, there must have always been a confusion on how to promote the movie because I don’t think its director Rathish (Ambat), writer Murali (Gopy) or its producer Vijay Babu thought it would have foreseen an eventual theatrical release.”

The film revolves around a group of friends, who share a dark history, coming together in a night. How the events take an unexpected turn form the plot of the film, which is currently set for an OTT release on September 30 in Disney+ Hotstar.

Vijay Babu plays the central character in the film as a businessman, who runs a luxury resort with his wife, essayed by Isha Talwar. How his character came into possession of the property and the ramifications of that act are recounted when three friends – played by Prithviraj, Vijay Babu and Saiju Kurup come together.
