Dulquer Salmaan's 'Kurup' to hit the big screens in November?
What's the story
Last month, some reports had suggested that Dulquer Salmaan's Kurup might go the OTT way. But a recent update seems to reject that claim.
The biographical crime drama might be hitting the big screens in November during Diwali. An official update is, however, awaited.
The film was supposed to be released last year, but it was delayed multiple times due to the lockdown.
