3 min read

Roshan Mathew had performed a supporting position in director Anjali Menon’s 2018 relationship drama Koode, starring Prithviraj Sukumaran within the lead. The actor’s repute as ‘a talent to watch out for’ has grown considerably since. He has made fairly an impression together with his performances in movies like Moothon, Kappela and CU Soon. But, he revealed he was a bit sceptical when he was supplied a important character in Kuruthi.
“When Prithvi narrated the script, I was blown away. I really, really wanted to jump in and say yes. But, I took a day or two to decide whether I will be able to pull off Ibrahim,” Roshan advised indianexpress.com.

It is as a result of Roshan believes Ibrahim is probably the most complicated character that he had been supplied but. “I immediately knew that I want to do this film. But, because of my past experiences, I felt it was good to take a little bit of time and decide. There are two things, right? It could be how you feel immediately after hearing something is not how you feel when you sleep over it. The other thing is, what you hear is supremely exciting and you know you want to do it. But, there is also this amazing cast to work with and the character is also so complex. Ibrahim was the most challenging role and I just wanted to make sure that I wouldn’t let the whole crew down,” he added.
Judging from the trailer of Kuruthi, the movie, which is written by Anish Pallyal, appears to deal with the battle arising from what one desires to do versus what one believes God desires them to do?
“Especially thinking about it from Ibrahim’s perspective, what is fate? What is your belief? What is your belief in God? All characters in the movie are using it as a crutch. They are too scared of other things. And they do this thing thinking this is what God wants. But, what happens when you are thrown into a situation, where you have two ways to go and both are extremely difficult. How do you figure out what God wants you to pick then?” he requested.

When requested does Kuruthi has a really philosophical plot, Roshan could be very fast to dismiss it. “It is an absolute action thriller,” he added. But, there may be extra to the movie than simply motion.
“Definitely, there are a lot of layers. You have all the elements that are needed in an absolutely entertaining action film. We have tried to make it as entertaining as possible because that’s important. And it was the intention that Anish had when he wrote it. While the movie, hopefully, entertains you, it will also not be empty,” he stated.

Kuruthi is just not a message-driven movie per se, however Roshan hopes after watching the bodily and psychological struggles of the characters, the viewers may have one thing significant to remove on the finish of the movie. “In Kuruthi there is no intention to give a message. Because that idea sort of comes only when we put ourselves on a pedestal, ‘hey, we know everything. We are going to tell you what is the right thing to do.’ Every character is extremely flawed in Kuruthi. None of the characters has the authority to be giving anyone any message,” he added.
Kuruthi marks the debut of filmmaker Manu Warrier (Coffee Bloom) in Malayalam. Besides Roshan and Prithviraj, the movie additionally stars Murali Gopy, Shine Tom Chacko and Srindaa. And it’s set to premiere on August 11 on Amazon Prime Video.
