Kurup is based on one of the most notorious criminals in India - Sukumara Kurup. He was a writer before being accused of the murder of a film representative, Chacko, in 1984. The body of the victim was allegedly found in a burnt vehicle near Mavelikkara in the Alappuzha district. He reportedly did so in a bid to claim insurance. After the police were convinced that the murder was committed by Kurup, they launched a massive search against him. The search is still on but Kurup has managed to stay elusive to date.

There have already been two other Malayalam films made on the same subject. Director Baby’s 1984 film, NH 47 was based on Chacko’s murder. Adoor Gopalakrishnan’s 2016 crime thriller Pinneyum was also loosely based on the alleged crime committed by Sukumara Kurup. Tovino Thomas will be playing the role of Chacko in the Dulquer Salmaan starrer Kurup. The film also features Made In Heaven actor Sobhita Dhulipala. Kurup is currently filming and is expected to release in 2020.
