Peechankai: Releasing Today (June 15)
Peechaankai-900×450
The eerie similarity between this poster and that of Aamir Khan-starrer PK did get the director, Ashok, in some trouble. He said, “It was a conscious decision to rip-off the poster design of PK. So as to pun on the alien aspect in PK. Here, the hero’s hand acts like an alien. That is why the tagline of the film is ‘alien-handed’.”
Peechankai will see RS Karthik play the role of a pick-pocket who suffers from ‘alien hand syndrome’ after he meets with an accident. “He manages to join a kidnapping gang and how he survives forms the rest of the story,” the director explained.
Touted as a dark comedy, the movie has been shot in and around Chennai and has been bankrolled by PG Media Works and Karsa Entertainment.
Releasing today, Peechankai also stars Anjali Rao, Vivek Prasanna and MS Bhaskar in major roles.

Uru is Kabali fame Sai Dhansika’s second release in 2017, after Enga Amma Rani. A thriller directed by Vicky Anand, it will also feature actor Kalaiyarasan essaying the role of a novelist.
Uru has been produced by VP Viji and has music by Johan Shevanesh. Prasanna S Kumar has cranked the camera. Sai Dhaniska, in an interview with DC, stated that the movie does not belong to the horror genre. “Many have misconstrued Uru as a horror thriller. But, it is a psychological thriller and I play the wife of a struggling writer essayed by Kalaiyarasan. I have undergone several hardships both physically and mentally since the movie was shot in Kodaikanal in the month of December – at 4°C.”
