Vetri picks yet another thriller

After being part of films like '8 Thottakkal' and 'Jiiva', Vetri has chosen yet thriller for his next. This yet-to-be-titled film, which revolves around a social issue, will be directed by debutant Shyam.

Says the director, “The story is part fiction and partly based on true incidents. It delves into women’s safety and empowerment. I chose Vetri because I felt he would be apt for this role. Even though it is a thriller subject, we have approached our screenplay in a different manner. Also, he hasn’t done a character like this before. When he heard the narration, he really liked it and came on board. His character comes from a middle-class background and has a very boy-next-door appeal. This film will definitely be a breakthrough for Vetri.”

Vidya Pradeep and Vismaya of '

The team has begun shooting today, in Chennai. “The entire film is set in Chennai. There will be power-packed action sequences, which will be one of the highlights in the film,” he informs.
