The makers revealed that actor Arul Doss played a character called Gopi in the film Saturday. Before that, Friday, the makers had disclosed that actor Radha Ravi played a character called Abdul Razzak, while actor Shahji Chen would be seen as MLA Senthil in the film.
The makers have already disclosed the characters played by Ponvannan, Sathanand, Rage Esakki, Madhan Dakshinamoorthy, Imman Annachi, Ramesh Thilak, Thambi Ramaiah and Bharadwaj Rangan in their film.
A teaser that the makers had released earlier has triggered huge interest in the film.
The teaser opens with Arjun Das getting threatened over the phone by a moneylender. He questions Arjun Das on why he had stopped picking up his calls.
From the phone conversation that Arjun Das has with this person, it becomes evident that Arjun Das has fled with his family after locking his home. The money lender threatens him, saying, “Do you think I can’t find you? If you think you can cheat me of my money, no matter where you run to, I will come and cut your family members to pieces before your eyes.” Arjun Das sternly tells him he won’t pay and asks him to do what he can.
Soon after the conversation, Arjun Das loses his temper and starts hurling things he can lay his hands on in anger. When he picks up a small handy machine, which looks like a receipt printer in a grocery store, to hurl it, lightning strikes, and it happens to touch the machine in Arjun Das’s hand.
Soon after, every time he presses a button for a receipt, 500 Rupee notes begin to come out of the machine. Soon, Arjun Das is in a position to repay the money lender. But it is not just Arjun Das who has found out that he has a machine that can cough up money…
Written and directed by Harish Durairaj, the film will, apart from Arjun Das and Anna Ben, also feature Yogi Babu, Vadivukkarasi, Imman Annachi and Akhilan in pivotal roles.
On the technical front, the film will have music by Sean Roldan and cinematography by Aravind Viswanathan. Editing for the film is by Arul Moses A, while production design is by Raj Kamal. Costumes in the film have been designed by Navaa Rambo Rajkumar, while lyrics for the songs in the film have been penned by Mohan Rajan.
While the dances in the film have been choreographed by Santhosh, the fight sequences have been choreographed by Action Sandhosh.
