Gautham, Bhavya team up for a whodunit film with sci-fi elements
Sooriyaprathap says, 'Gautham plays a CB-CID officer investigating a serial killing. Criminal profiling isn't that explored in Tamil cinema and we are blending that in this story.' Debut director Sooriyaprathap S will be directing a sci-fi crime thriller starring Gautham Ram Karthik and Bhavya Trikha . Talking about his untitled film, Sooriyaprathap says, 'Gautham plays a CB-CID officer investigating a serial killing. Criminal profiling isn't that explored in Tamil cinema and we are blending that in this story. ' He believes that the biggest plus of his film will be its sci-fi element. 'Many have explored sci-fi and murder investigation separately, but blending both would be an experiment. Also, our audiences have always received crime thriller movies well,' he states. Speaking about what led him to cast Gautham and Bhavya as the leads, he reveals, 'Gautham and I had previously discussed doing a sports drama. I've always felt he would be perfect as a cop. Even in Pathu Thala, his character was an undercover cop. With Bhavya, when I met her, she came across as a 'namma veettu ponnu'. She plays a very mature role in the film and we felt her attitude works well for the part.' Sooriyaprathap, who was the associate director of Kochadaiiyaan , shares, 'After Kochadaiiyaan , I was involved in the story discussions for a few movies. Around 2016, I was supposed to do a web series in Soundarya (Rajinikanth) ma'am's production, but it didn't take off. I've now helmed a web series, which will be released later this year.'

In a statement, Verus Productions, which is backing the film said, "When Sooriyaprathap narrated this script, I immediately sensed his ability to connect with audience emotions, and I am confident that this film will translate beautifully on screen. Gautham Ram Karthik, with his versatility across genres and roles: from enjoyable to intense ones, has always stood out. He plays a police officer in this film, and I believe it will be a landmark project in his career and for all of us involved."
