The film is a violent cat and mouse game between Inspector Kumaran (Sundar. C) who suffers from PTSD and Sudhakar (Jai) an ultra violent serial killer. Who will win in this battle ?
The project was announced in December 2020, with Sundar C. revealing that he would work with Badri on a film, where Jai would portray the antagonist.[2] The film was shot at regular intervals throughout 2021, with several scenes shot in Pondicherry.[3][4][5]
The film was released on 24 June 2022. A critic from Times of India called it a "a loud, violent serial killer film",[6] while The Hindu noted it was "a silly psycho-thriller that banks majorly on shock value".[7] The New Indian Express stated it was "a gore-fest that loses fizz".[8]
