The trailer for Karthi’s much-awaited film ‘Sardar‘ is out. The Tamil film premieres in theatres on October 21, as a Diwali release. Karthi plays the titular role of enigmatic spy Sardar in the film.
The Sardar trailer gives us ample hint of the storyline of the film. Karthi appears in a dual role – that of a police officer and an intelligence officer. Sardar is an elusive spy with the reputation of a legend in the spy world. Terms such as ‘master of disguise’ tell us a lot in a few words. The Sardar trailer, much like the Sardar teaser, shows Karthi’s Sardar donning various get-ups and giving the slip to both, the authorities and the bad guys.
The police officer avatar of Karthi in Sardar is more light-hearted and jovial, giving us glimpses of romance and fun. He is also younger and more sprightly. Karthi looks impressive in both avatars – the police officer and the spy.
At first glance, Sardar comes across as a stylish spy action thriller. However, the plot and narrative don’t promise anything different from several similar movies we’ve watched in the past – Cobra, Dhoom 2, Tiger Zinda Hai, to name a few. Sardar seems merely old wine in a new bottle. Let’s hope the film proves us wrong when it premieres in the theatres.
Sardar stars Karthi, Raashii Khanna, Rajisha Vijayan, Laila, Chunky Pandey, Murali Sharma, Ilavarasu, Munishkanth, among others. Sardar is directed by PS Mithran, and written by M.R Pon Parthipan, Roju and Bipin Ragu. GV Prakash is the music composer, while the film is produced by S Lakshman Kumar, under his banner, Prince Pictures. Udhay Stalin’s Red Giant Movies is on board Sardar as the presenters of the film.
