Touted to be an investigative thriller, Vaibhav plays an anxious cop alongside his colleague Venkat Prabhu in the film. The film also features Vani Bhojan, Shamna Kasim a.k.a Poorna, Eswari Rao, and Vathikuchi fame Dileepan in important roles.
The film features cinematography by Santhanam Sekar, Anand Gerald on edit and Arrol Corelli has composed music. Anandh Mani has helmed art and ‘Miracle’ Michael Raj has choreographed the stunts. The film had completed work last year and was set for a release at the beginning of 2020. The makers had released a first look poster and teaser of the film last year.
It is noteworthy that Sun Network’s streaming app SunNXT had originally bagged the streaming rights of the film, but will not see the film hitting the platform. SunNXT is among the few streaming apps that haven’t taken the plunge into direct OTT releases yet.
