Speculations are rife that Dulquer Salmaan is currently negotiating a deal with a leading streaming platform to digitally release his much-awaited movie Kurup. However, an official word on the same is awaited.
Besides playing the titular role, Dulquer has also bankrolled Kurup under his home banner Wayfarer Films.
In the last six months, a few low-budget movies, including Dulquer’s production Maniyarayile Ashokan, have released on OTT platforms. Many big-budget movies, meanwhile, have opted to wait for the storm to pass. However, if rumours about Kurup come true, it will be the first big-budget Malayalam film to release directly on an OTT platform.
Dulquer Salmaan won’t be the first star, however, to take his movie to a streaming service. Earlier, Nani’s V hit Amazon Prime Video. Recently even Suriya’s Soorarai Pottru took the OTT route and became a huge hit.
