Cobra teaser: Vikram, a maths genius and ruthless killer?

Cobra, which has been directed by Ajay Gnanamuthu, sees the actor don multiple getups.

The teaser of Vikram’s upcoming Tamil thriller Cobra was unveiled on Saturday. Going by the visuals, the actor seems to be essaying the role of a mathematical genius who can solve crimes. But it also appears that his character could be a killer.

Cobra, which has been directed by Ajay Gnanamuthu, sees Vikram in numerous avatars.

When the first look poster of Cobra was released a few months ago, it bore the tagline: “Every problem has a mathematical solution.”

The film marks the third collaboration between Vikram and maestro AR Rahman after Raavanan (2010) and I (2015). The project also stars Srinidhi Shetty. Former Indian pacer Irrfan Pathan plays the antagonist and this project marks his acting debut.

Produced by 7 Screen Studio in association with Viacom 18 Studios, the project went on the floors in August 2019 and the makers are hopeful about releasing it next year.

“This film will be a Pan-Indian project catering to the Tamil, Hindi and Telugu audience. It will be produced on a massive scale in association with Viacom 18 Motion Pictures. The cast and technicians will have big names of all industries collaborating for this film,” read a statement from the makers. 

Ajay had told the Times of India newspaper that Vikram’s role would be a challenging one.

Vikram also has a project with filmmaker Karthik Subbaraj in the pipeline. This film will see the actor share screen space with his son, Dhruv Vikram, who made his acting debut last year in Adithya Varma (2019), the Tamil remake of Arjun Reddy (2017).
