The teaser of the much-awaited pan-Indian film ‘King of Kotha’ is out. The Dulquer Salmaan-starrer is touted to be an action-packed gangster drama. Directed by Abhilash Joshiy, the Malayalam film (to be dubbed in Tamil, Hindi, Telugu and Kannada) will hit the screens in August.

In the teaser, Dulquer’s character is hailed as a king who will protect the people of Kotha from the “evil spirit”. The teaser gives a hint of an intense lead character (essayed by Dulquer), who is covered in blood and is seen taking down his rivals in electrifying action sequences. The period film, mounted on a huge scale, is produced by Wayfarer Films and Zee Studios.

King of Kotha boasts of an ensemble cast. Prasanna, Shabeer Kallarakkal, Aishwarya Lekshmi, Shammi Thilakan and Gokul Suresh are part of the film. Abhilash Joshiy, son of veteran Malayalam filmmaker Joshiy, is making his debut with the film. The makers are planning to release the film in August, during the time of Onam.
