Directed by Arun Matheshwaran, Rocky is an action-thriller starring Vasanth Ravi in the titular role. The film wasn’t a blockbuster when it was released at the end of December 2021 but it received high praise from critics.
Rocky was about a gangster who gets released from prison and goes in search of his missing sister. He wants to lead a normal life with her. However, his violent past catches up with him.
Wakaoo Films has been producing films, television shows and web-series. It backed last year’s acclaimed web-series Candy (2021), a crime thriller, on Voot Select, starring Ronit Roy and Richa Chadha. It is also producing Oh My God 2 with Akshay Kumar and Pankaj Tripathi. The film is the sequel to the 2012 hit OMG! Oh My God.
