Prithviraj’s Kaapa and Thuramukham’s Asif Ali to clash at the box office

For the upcoming gangster thriller Kaapa, Prithviraj Sukumaran and Asif Ali, the multifaceted artist and well-known actor, are reunited. Shaji Kailas, a senior filmmaker, is directing the film, which is now finishing up post-production. With its enticing teaser, which was published on Prithviraj’s birthday, the eagerly anticipated project has attracted interest. Nivin Pauly is now ready to present Thuramukham, his protracted and ambitious effort. The historical drama, which is Nivin’s debut collaboration with filmmaker Rajeev Ravi, has great expectations.

Kaapa finally has a release date, according to the most recent reports. On December 22, this year, the film—which stars Prithviraj Sukumaran, Asif Ali, Aparna Balamurali, Anna Ben, and others—is expected to be released in theatres. In the meantime, rumours claim that Thuramukham will also be released in theatres on the same day. In that case, Nivin Pauly may face competition at the box office this holiday season from Prithviraj Sukumaran and Asif Ali. The release dates for both movies are anticipated to be announced by the producers very soon.

In addition, Kaapa is Prithviraj Sukumaran’s third feature with veteran director Shaji Kailas, following the 2012 release of Simhasanam and the most recent box office smash Kaduva. Manju Warrier was originally signed on to play one of the film’s key parts, however the actress later withdrew due to her hectic schedule. Later, Manju was replaced in the position by Aparna Balamurali. The movie Kaapa, which is based on the well-known book Shankhumukhi by GR Indugopan, is scheduled to be released in two parts.

The Mattanchery-based film, directed by Rajeev Ravi, is marketed as a historical political drama. The character of Mattanchery Moidu, a leader of port workers who campaigned against the Chappa (tax) system that was in place in the 1940s and 1950s, is being played by Nivin Pauly. Indrajith Sukumaran, Poornima Indrajith, Joju George, Nimisha Sajayan, Darshana Rajendran, Sudev Nair, Arjun Ashokan, and more A-list actors appear in the film alongside the crowd-pleaser. Due to financial difficulties, the film’s release date, which had been set for 2020, has been postponed several times.
