And I give it my all every time because of that love. Even when I stumble you all lift me up. It humbles me and encourages all of us to keep trying harder.

The actor continued, “Every day on a set and every film is a learning experience. A big hug to each one of you who are giving our film an opportunity to entertain you, we are glad to be a part of your Onam. We thank our audiences from the bottom of our hearts.” 

Before the release of the film, Dulquer Salman told PTI why he decided to back the big-budget drama film as a producer and actor. 

“In the current climate, people want theatrical experience. In Malayalam, we do so much of smaller, intimate realistic storytelling… I was like, ‘You need to draw people to theatres. They should come and celebrate’. It should be visually spectacular and technically sound,” Salmaan told PTI in an interview. 

“The massive tentpole films that we all celebrate are not made easily. There’s a lot of effort, time, and money that go into it,” the actor said, explaining what went into creating the massive sets of the film that was reportedly made on a budget of Rs 50 to 60 crore. 

Directed by Abhilash Joshiy, 'King of Kotha' also features Aishwarya Lekshmi of “Ponniyin Selvan” fame, Shabeer Kallarakkal, Prasanna, and Gokul Suresh, among others.
