Actor Vikram had a last outing in the action thriller Mahaan which hit the theaters under the direction of story teller Karthik Subbaraj with actress Simran as female lead. The entertainer did not live up to the expectations, and as a result did not do well commercially. The Kadaram Kondan actor has moved on, and is now gearing up for the release of his upcoming action thriller titled Cobra. Director R. Ajay Gnanamuthu of Imaikkaa Nodigal fame has helmed the drama. Actress Srinidhi Shetty of KGF fame has played the female lead. The project which went on floors in the year 2019 has been shot in Kerala, Kolkata, and Russia and is made in a massive budget of 90 crores. Cobra is poised to hit the screens on 31st of this month.
Now the production unit has dropped the trailer of the film on social media. Taking to their official twitter account, the production house shared the trailer along with a poster from the flick and wrote, “Every problem has a mathematical solution. Dropping the Cobra trailer right now. Chiyaan Vikram’s Cobra. An Ajay Gnanamuthu film. An A. R. Rahman musical.” Here is the trailer shared by the production house.
The two minutes odd trailer cut opens with actor Vikram strappado upside down and subjected to custodial torcher. Quickly it shifts to an overseas location giving us a glimpse of Vikram in various looks. A voiceover tells us that he is like a cobra.
