Actor Jiiva used to churn out projects at a faster pace until a few years ago. For some reasons best known to the star the velocity has decelerated. The Coffee With Kadhal actor was last seen on screens in a cameo part in RJ Balaji’s Singapore Saloon. He will soon have a release in Black. Story teller K G Balasubramani has written and helmed the drama. Actress Priya Bhavani Shankar played the love interest of the star in the film. An official release date for the flick is expected to be announced soon. The makers have now launched the trailer of the flick on social media. Taking to his official X account, actor Jiiva unveiled a poster from the movie and shared a link to the trailer of Black and wrote, “It is time to experience the thrill! Here is the official trailer of Black.” Here is the post made by the actor.
Two minute trailer of Black opens to actress Priya Bhavani Shankar calling for help via a call, “Hello emergency, we are in danger. We need help. Can you hear me?” The shot cuts to the actress lying unconscious on a floor. We are then presented with a scene where the actress asks Jiiva, “Okay tell me what is your vacation plan? To drink and sleep. It doesn’t matter where you do it. Just do it here.” The couple then moves to a secluded beachside posh villa as the first occupant. Soon they start to experience paranormal activities. They try to flee the community. The trailer ends with actor Jiiva in a police station being told by a cop, “If a husband comes with a missing wife complaint after seven years of marriage, do you know who is the first suspect? It is the husband.”
Earlier talking to a popular media house, director K G Balasubramani said, “Black is a story that transpires over a night. The darkness of the night might be taken as Black. In other view, black could be used to refer to the dark side of things that we keep from people even who are dear to us. The film will treat this as its core theme.” Apart from Jiiva and Priya Bhavani Shankar, the cast of Black also has actors Vivel Prasanna, Yog Japee, Sha Ra, and Swayam Siddha portraying various supporting characters. Music director Sam C S has taken care of the musical division of the venture. Cinematographer Gokul Benoy has operated cameras for the film. Editor Philomin Raj has overseen the editing department. Art director Sathees Kumar has designed the background for the flick. Action director Metro Mahesh has choreographed action moves. The entertainer is produced by S R Prabu and S R Prakash Babu under their home banner Dream Warrior Pictures in association with P Gopinath and R Thanga Prabaharan for their banner label Potential Studios LLP.
On the work front, actor Jiiva is currently busy shooting for his upcoming movie christened Medhavi crafted by filmmaker Pa Vijay in which he will be sharing screen space with actors Arjun and Raashi Khanna. Beside this project, the actor has a Telugu venture Kannappa helmed by Mukesh Kumar Singh in which he will be seen alongside actor Vishnu Manchu.
