Did
you
know,
Vikram's
Cobra
has
completed
one
year
since
its
announcement
in
2019?
The
much-anticipated
thriller
of
the
year
has
been
getting
all
the
attention
since
its
inception.
Vikram's
collaboration
with
director
Ajay
Gananamuthu
is
being
eagerly
awaited
by
fans,
thanks
to
their
movies
Demonte
Colony
and
Imaikka
Nodigal
which
were
blockbusters.
The
project
has
been
currently
halted
due
to
the
ongoing
lockdown
imposed
by
the
central
government.
The
team
is
yet
to
shoot
a
high-octane
action
sequence,
which
was
earlier
being
shot
in
Russia.
Unfortunately,
the
cast
and
crew
had
to
return
back
to
India
without
completing
the
schedule,
citing
the
sudden
Coronavirus
outbreak.
As
per
reports,
the
producer
of
the
film,
SS
Lalit
Kumar
wants
to
resume
the
shoot
in
India,
but
Ajay
Gananamuthu
has
rejected
his
idea
and
is
adamant
about
shooting
the
sequence
in
Russia.
If
the
team
waits
until
the
government
relaxes
the
travelling
ban,
it
is
sure
that
the
movie
will
take
more
time
than
expected.
It
will
also
affect
the
release
of
the
film
and
increase
the
budget.
On
a
related
note,
the
director,
during
a
recent
interaction
with
a
leading
website,
revealed
that
almost
40-25%
days
of
the
shoot
is
left
to
complete.
He
also
added
that
the
team
is
planning
to
release
the
first
single
from
Cobra,
which
will
be
associated
with
Kerala's
traditional
celebration.
When
asked
about
the
teaser
release,
the
director
said
that
they
are
planning
to
drop
the
teaser
close
to
the
film's
release,
as
it
may
help
increase
the
buzz
during
that
time.
KGF
actress
Srinidhi
Shetty
will
star
opposite
Vikram
in
the
thriller,
which
will
also
feature
Teejay,
Anandraj,
Mirnalini
Ravi,
KS
Ravikumar,
Babu
Antony,
Padmapriya
and
Mamukkoya
in
supporting
roles.
Interestingly,
former
cricketer,
Irfan
Pathan
will
also
make
his
debut
with
this
project.
The
multilingual
movie
will
be
released
in
Tamil,
Telugu,
and
Hindi.
