The film is set in the 16th century and tells the narrative of Kunjali Marakkar IV, the naval commander of the Zamorin of Calicut, who was notable for defending the Malabar Coast against the Portuguese invasion. It is distributed in the area by UAE-based Phars Films. Keerthy Suresh and Suneil Shetty are in crucial roles.

Meanwhile, Salmaan's latest crime thriller, 'Kurup,' debuted on the platform earlier this week.

Kurup, directed by Dulquer Salmaan and released in November, is now available to view on Netflix. The film was supposed to be released on December 17, but the platform pushed it back. Kurup is a biographical criminal thriller based on the story of Sukumara Kurup, Kerala's most wanted fugitive.

The movie is based on the story of Sukumara Kurup, who is considered India's most wanted fugitive and is still on the run after staging his own death for insurance fraud in the 1980s.

Indrajith Sukumaran, Sobhita Dhulipala, Sunny Wayne, Bharat Srinivasan, Shine Tom Chacko, Surabhi Lakshmi, and Vijayaraghavan Pillai also appear in the film.

The Malayalam film, directed by Srinath Rajendran, received mixed reviews at the box office but went on to make a profit throughout its run.

The film grossed Rs 50 crore from international ticket sales within three days of its release, giving Dulquer a career-best start.

Dulquer Salmaan has uploaded a video implying that a sequel to his recent blockbuster Kurup is in works. The news came shortly after the film was released on Netflix on Wednesday.

The video suggests that the manhunt for Kurup, who has changed his identity to Alexander, will continue.
