Kaduva will be a refreshing change, says Malayalam actor Prithviraj Sukumaran

Stating that he was immensely proud of the content being generated in Malayalam cinema, Prithviraj Sukumaran said that the only genre that the industry had slightly forgotten was the mass action entertainer genre and that his upcoming film, Kaduva, was a step in that direction.

Speaking at the launch of the film's teaser in Chennai, which was attended by the entire cast of Kaduva and a host of celebrities including actors Arya and Jiiva, Prithviraj said, "We have to have all kinds of films. Right now, the Malayalam industry is making superb films. We are going through a phase where we are making superb content but we've missed out on one genre. I, as a film lover, miss the mass masala commercial entertainers in Malayalam. So, when they narrated this script to me in 2017, I felt it had been a long time since such films had come out in Malayalam."

Further, the Malayalam actor added, "Let me make it clear, the multi-city promotions that we have embarked on are not only for Kaduva. This is the first step of a big process. I am someone who wishes that from now on, all big Malayalam films that are to be released are released in this fashion. We have to come and communicate with our audience in every state on a first-person basis. I hope and pray that we will be able to sustain this process for all big releases coming from Kerala."

Kaduva features Samyuktha Menon as the female lead and Bollywood actor Vivek Oberoi is playing a pivotal role.

On making his Telugu debut, the actor said, "I've already been given a film by a few of top Tollywood producers, and I'm glad and delighted about it. I might soon direct a Telugu movie in addition to acting". Besides, Prithviraj confirmed that he's a part of Prabhas's Salaar. The movie will be an action-drama, directed by Prashanth Neel of KGF fame.
