Earlier this year in February, acclaimed actor Dhanush had launched a teaser video of Prabhu Deva’s forthcoming acting project ‘Bagheera’. The teaser video featured the multi-talented dance maestro Prabhu Deva donning multiple looks for the film. And now, as promised earlier, the makers have unveiled the much-anticipated official trailer for the film.
Bagheera’s trailer features Prabhu Deva in a never-seen-before role(s) that apparently range from a woman, a man with a triple-lensed glass, a Brahmin, a playboy amongst other getups.
Formerly titled ‘Kadhalan Returns’ and helmed by actor-director Adhvik Ravichandran in his third directorial venture, ‘Bagheera’ is a psychological mystery thriller movie. The film features Amyra Dastur, Sakshi Agarwal, Remya Nambeesan, Janani Iyer, Gayathrie Shankar, Sonia Agarwal, and Sanchita Shetty, etc. besides, of course, Prabhu Deva in the titular role of Bagheera Muralidharan.
From the film’s trailer, it seems that Bagheera is a stark departure from the kind of light-hearted and dance focussed films Prabhu Deva is usually associated with. So, it would be interesting to see the eminent choreographer in a totally different role.
The film’s plot ostensibly revolves around a psychotic serial killer who murders women for passion. It was earlier reported that ‘Bagheera’ is inspired by the 2015 South Korean award-winning film ‘Veteran’. Bagheera’s title has been derived from the popular Jungle Book character of the same name. It looks like Prabhu Deva’s character in the film will share Bagheera’s traits, that is, his ability to act as both the protector and the destroyer.
Besides directing the film, ‘Bagheera’ has also been written by Adhvik Ravichandran. Although the release date of the film has not yet been revealed in the trailer, it is expected to be released soon in theatres. You can watch the film’s trailer below.
