Rajamouli Sir Showed The Way: Prithviraj

Prithviraj Sukumaran who is a famous name in Tollywood with his OTT films during the Lockdown has taken Telugu market seriously and is planning a simultaneous release here for his next film, Kaduva. The movie is arriving on 30th of this month in Malayalam, Telugu, Tamil, Kannada and Hindi.

The star spoke to the media. “Rajamouli sir showed the path of how to market a film across the country with Baahubali. KGF 2 and RRR followed. Going forward, all big films of all industries will release in all languages simultaneously. I am starting it with Kaduva,” he said about the Telugu release.

“Kaduva means Tiger in Malayalam. The hero’s name is Kaduvakunnel Kuruvachan. In the short cut it is Kaduva. That’s why we put the same name in every language and do not want to change it,” he explained.

He says there is a similarity in the film’s concept with Ayyappanum Koshiyum but yet it is a different story. “Both the films are about male egos. In fact, Driving License is also about Male Egos. Ayyappanum Koshiyum is a very real story cinematically. But Kaduva is a commercial, a larger than life movie. Compared to Ayyappanum Koshiyum, Kaduva gives a different experience. As well as a completely different story,” he told.

The actor promises to make his direct Telugu film very soon. “I was supposed to do Chiranjeevi Sir’s Sye Raa and Godfather but things did not work out. But I will make my Telugu debut very soon. I am getting many offers to direct a Telugu film,” he revealed.
