Malayalam filmmaker Hafiz M Ishmail, who made his directorial debut with Koratty Pattanam Railway Gate in 2011, will soon make his Tamil debut with Kombay, a crime thriller. The director has reportedly roped in actors Charles Arun and Theertha for the lead roles. The film is set in a village of the same name in Madurai.
The teaser of the film was released mid-February, and the story centers around a character called Vetri ‘who does anything for money’. But having fallen in love with a simple girl, Vetri tries to redeem himself, and faces the consequences of his previous ways.

The director told Deccan Chronicle that he will be taking a fresh approach with the narration of the film. “How it differs from films of similar genre is that it has strong content. And moreover, I feel editing is an important aspect where you can correct a lot of things. I have done the editing of Kombay as well, besides cinematography and acting as the antagonist,” he said.
Kombay‘s songs are composed by Gayoz Johnson, Anoop Rockwell and Denniz Joseph. The audio was launched on 14 February. The film’s release will be announced soon.
