While the wait for Nivin Pauly’s Padavettu and Thuramukham are making even his die-hard fans impatient, the latest teaser from the former socio-political thriller guarantees that wait might well be worth it. The makers of the Liju Krishna directorial unveiled another teaser of the film – an explosive one at that in all senses – while announcing its new release date.

The film, which had completed shooting earlier this year, is a socio-political thriller about how the oppressed rise up to claim what is rightfully theirs and in this case, it’s about land that has been eyed by political parties and authorities for development.

Padavettu was initially set for a March 2022 release but was pushed again after the Omicron threat earlier in the year. Later, it was announced as an Onam release eyeing September 2. This too didn’t materialise with the movie facing a few legal problems. The current release date has been set to October 21.

Apart from Nivin, the movie also has Aditi Balan, Indrans, Shine Tom Chacko, Shammi Thilakan and Sudheesh in pivotal roles. The movie, which is also written by Liju Krishna, is produced by Sunny Wayne along with Yoodlee Films.

The film’s teaser promises to have Nivin in one of his strongest performances as a common man fighting for his right to do what he wants with his land. Incidentally, Thuramukham, which is also much-delayed, is also a socio-political drama that has him essaying the role of a labourer standing up to abolish the chappa system that was practiced in Cochin port during the 1900s.

While Thuramukham’s release date is not yet announced, Nivin’s next release will be Rosshan Andrrews’ entertainer Saturday Night, which also has Siju Wilson, Aju Varghese, Saniya Iyyappan, Grace Antony and Saiju Kurup in pivotal roles.
