Actor Dulquer Salmaan has revealed that he will play wanted criminal Sukumara Kuruppu in his next untitled Malayalam film, to be directed by Srinath Rajendran.

Srinath had directed Dulquer in his debut Malayalam film Second Show and are reuniting after six years. Dulquer said he was “thrilled”.

“After nearly six years, I reunite with Srinath Rajendran. My first director. I’m super thrilled about this film. So happy to share this,” Dulquer tweeted along with the film’s poster.

The poster reads “Dulquer Salmaan as Sukumara Kuruppu”.

Sukumara, a family man who, after reading about a crime involving embezzlement of insurance money in Germany, brought insurance and scripted his own death by murdering another man to lay his hands on the money. It’s been 33 years since the incident and Sukumara is still at large.

The rest of the cast and crew of the film are yet to be finalised.
