BANGALORE: Tamil film industry’s young heartthrob, superstar Vijay, received a grand birthday gift for his 40th birthday this Sunday, as the first look motion poster of his upcoming film Kaththi was released thereby creating a huge buzz among Vijay’s fans and followers.
Kaththi is an action thriller film written and directed by A. R. Murugadoss who had previously worked with the superstar in Thuppakki, also an action thriller, the Hindi remake of which, Holiday (starring Akshay Kumar and Sonakshi Sinha and also directed by Murugadoss) recently crossed the 100 crores line at the box office.
The motion picture in question is simple yet elegant. It shows the face of a city (presumably Chennai), the roads, the buildings, the cars, the skyscrapers all as if wrapped by black and white newspaper, creating an atmosphere of wonder and mystery. The camera at the end of the 40 second video slowly zooms out to give a panoptical view of whole structure which turns out to be the shape of Vijay’s face in black and white, which is also the film’s poster.
Kaththi will feature Vijay in a dual role, Arvind and Andrew, while Samantha will be playing the female lead. Samantha’s Telugu feature Autonagar Surya opposite Naga Chaitanya releases this Friday with huge expectations from fans.
Kaththi also marks the Tamil film debut of Bollywood hero Neil Nitin Mukesh. Neil had previously acted in Bejoy Nambiar’s David, a Hindi film, a slightly altered version of which was simultaneously produced in Tamil. However, Neil was not part of the Tamil cast. Kaththi also features Bengali actor Tota Roy Chowdhury. Tota, an actor prone to playing supporting roles regularly, is one of the biggest action stars of Bengali cinema.
The first look motion poster was deliberately released on Vijay’s 40thbirthday which was this Sunday. It would not only be a treat for the film star but also for his fans who would love to celebrate their superstar’s birthday anyway.
The shooting of Kaththi took place in Chennai, Hyderabad, and Kolkata among other places. The film will release Diwali 2014.
