Chiyaan Vikram 58, directed by Ajay Gnanamuthu, has been titled Cobra. Bankrolled by Lalith Kumar’s Seven Screen Studio, the film stars actors Vikram and marks the Tamil film debut of Srinidhi Shetty of KGF fame. The makers have released a motion poster revealing the title.
Two cobras are seen slithering on a golden ornament in the motion poster backed by an eerie background score that doesn’t seem to resemble an AR Rahman composition. A crown is also seen to feature in the poster.
