'Kaduva' teaser: Prithviraj Sukumaran is all about style and swag
Teaser of Prithviraj Sukumaran's upcoming film Kaduva is here!

Sharing the teaser, Sukumaran wrote, "Here is the first glimpse into the world of Kaduvakkunnel Kuruvachan! 2022.. Revenge will be his! #KADUVA."
Why does it matter?
The last three releases of the 39-year-old—Cold Case, Kuruthi and Bhramam—were all OTT outings. All premiered on Amazon Prime Video.

His fans are desperate to see him on the big screen and Kaduva's teaser shows the wait will be worth it.

Eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth!" he says. Then we see Sukumaran, clad in a mundu and a classic white kurta, packing a punch. It's full of massy elements like vintage BMW car and lion-head shaped finger ring.
