Having said that, the official motion poster for the film was unveiled yesterday (April 7). Titled 'Pattampoochi', the motion poster has got a piece of intense music playing in the background which sets the tone of the film. It also features Sundar C and Jai pitted against each other with blood being portrayed all over the place given the violent nature of the film.
The film stars Honey Rose of Singam Puli fame as the film's female lead while the rest of the cast includes Imman Annachi and Manasvi. The film is produced by Kushboo Sundar under the banner of her production house, Avni Cinemax, with its music scored by Navneeth Sundar, cinematography by E. Krishnasamy and editing by Fenny Oliver.
Pattampoochi is expected to follow the lives of a serial killer, played by Jai an honest police officer played by Sundar C. Set in the 80s, the film will focus on the cat and mouse game between the two characters. Jai has previously starred in roles with negative shades but Pattampoochi will mark his first film as an all-out villain.
Interestingly enough, Jai had previously worked under Sundar C's direction in Kalakalappu 2 and will be seen under his direction once again in an upcoming untitled project of his which also stars Jiiva, Srikanth as well as Dhivyadharshini "DD" Neelakandan. Apart from his directorial venture, Sundar C will also be seen acting in Vallaan, which is currently under post-production, Thalai Nagaram 2 and One 2 One, both of which are currently being filmed.
