Production
Kuruthi marks director Manu Warrier's debut film in Malayalam, who had earlier directed Hindi film Coffee Bloom and TV series Yudh (both in 2014). Warrier describes the film as "a socio-political thriller that has got a bit of drama, action and thrilling elements [...] though Prithvi plays the lead, all other characters have equal importance". The film was written by Anish Pallyal.[2] After several discussions, Prithviraj and his wife Supriya Menon decided to produce the film under their banner Prithviraj Productions.[1]
Principal photography of the film began on 9 December 2020 at Erattupetta, Kottayam district. Abhinandan Ramanujam was the cinematographer.[3][4] The filming completed on 4 January 2021 in a single schedule which lasted only less than a month.[5][6]
