Prithviraj-starrer Kaduva to release on OTT on Aug 4

Actor Prithviraj Sukumaran’s movie Kaduva is set to have its OTT première on Prime Video on August 4, the streamer announced Friday. The Malayalam action-drama, directed by Shaji Kailas, was theatrically released on July 7 and received positive reviews.

Sukumaran said Kaduva is close to his heart and he is looking forward to the digital première of the movie.

“Malayalam cinema has received so much love from audiences across the globe and I am sure Kaduva will receive the same love and appreciation upon its release on Prime Video,” the actor said in a statement. The film tells the story of Kaduvakunnel Kuriyachan (Prithviraj), an estate owner in the 90s, who ends up on a collition course with IG Joseph Chandy (Vivek Oberoi), a top cop who is politically favoured. It follows the intense rivalry between the two and the subsequent events that take place because of it. Oberoi, who plays the antagonist in the film, said he is grateful for all the love from the audience for his character.

“I have always strived to do unique roles in my career, and Joseph’s character in the film is an example of it. It is gratifying to see the kind of love this movie and my character has received. I’m glad that through Prime Video, Kaduva would be accessible to an even larger audience, all across the globe,” Oberoi said. Also starring Samyuktha Menon, the film is produced by Supriya Menon and Listin Stephen.
